In adapting our distribution materials to the Leopard tools, I've had
a few frustrating experiences. One involved having an app bundle get
stashed in an unexpected location if "allow relocation" was checked
for the component (see separate email). Another is that it seems that
the version number for an app bundle shown in the Finder is not
updated, even if the bundle actually is upgraded to a higher version
by the installer.
I lost some time wondering why, after repeated invocations of a new
installer package, the version of my app in /Applications was still at
1.6.4. For a while, this was because the installer was upgrading some
obscure development copy of the app, rather than the copy in the
default /Applications folder. After fixing this and running the
installer again, I ran the (supposedly v1.6.4 app) and found that it
was actually the updated version (1.6.5). This was confirmed in the
About panel and other places where the version can be inspected in the
app. In fact using 'grep' inside the bundle confirmed there was
absolutely no instance of the text '1.6.4' anywhere inside the bundle.
Restarting the Finder caused the version number to update to the
correct value. Is this a known bug? (will file if confirmed I'm not
screwing something up)
Thanks,
Rick
