This means that the simple disk image with the application in it, and the single step install will be a thing of the past.

Wrong. Applications can "install" stuff that they carry in their bundle by themselves. Take for example BBEdit which allows to install the 'bbedit' and 'bbdiff' command line tools while still retaining the single step install.


What I was wondering is whether it would be possible to get the Finder to also look inside application wrappers to find the importer bundles and register them at the same time as the system picks up the presence of the application itself. This would allow us to keep the simple "Application contains everything you need" model.

Agreed. That would definitely make developers life easier.
