reading more and more documentation i now find out that the
terminology i used was wrong.
what I am looking for is the bundle name... ( gotta get used to all
the name changes :) )...
Like a "sheet" being a Message Box,(ok much more flexible i admit )
my god did i look hard for that one.. :)
anyways.
I believe, but i might be wrong... the name should remain the same
and versioning differences should happen inside the application folder.
for example.
~/......./Application Support/AppName/
in here version independent support files
~/......./Application Support/AppName/1.0
in here 1.0 support files.
~/......./Application Support/AppName/5.0
in here 5.0 support files.
this way as your application evolves you still have access to the
application's suport fiels going back to it's origins if need be.
and it also allows for multiple version of the same application to
work side by side, if the whole thing is designed properly.
( if installed in different locations of course )
just my view...
Thanks for warning as i said i might be wrong.

I don't think you should assume that an Application used an
application support folder based on its name. That is likely to
break depending on what you are doing.
For example, Snak 1.0 used Snak as its folder name in app support,
but snak 5 used "Snak 5" even though the app name was still Snak.
