PDF services

Hey there,

Hooking into PDF services on OSX is really easy. All you need to do is to create a link in ~/Library/PDF Service to the application that is supposed to be listed in the printing dialog's menu. Now the problem is: How do I display anything but just the application's name?

Instead of just having the link like this

 MyApp.app -> /Applications/MyApp.app

I would have expected this link to show up differently in the menu

 "Send to MyApp" -> /Applications/MyApp.app

But it seems like what the menu is based on is solely the CFBundleName from the application bundle.
While I could just change that it feels just totally wrong. A terrible hack to get some text into the menu.


Is there a proper way of doing this? Is the menu really only built by looking at the CFBundleName?

cheers
