Also, it seems to not find helper applications which are inside
other applications' packages.
Is there any reason why you couldn't just search for the main
application which contains the helper application inside its bundle
and then just go from there to find the helper?
OK, do a programmatic Spotlight search for the main application, get
the path and tack on /Contents/Resources/MyHelper.app. I hadn't
thought about that but, yes, it that would overcome the package
problem, Charles.
Actually, it'd be better to use +[NSBundle bundleWithPath:] and then
use that to find MyHelper.app rather than just tacking on the subpath.
You are correct that this would not work if users had excluded a
directory from the search, though.
