Applescript can be used to retrieve the name of an application using its id:

get name of application id "pkgID"

Interesting, but I'm not having much luck:

MBPro15:Sharepoint pelle$ osascript -e 'get name of application id "com.crashplan.app.pkg"' 4:50: syntax error: Can’t get application id "com.crashplan.app.pkg". (-1728) MBPro15:Sharepoint pelle$ osascript -e 'get name of application id "org.macports.MacPorts"' 4:50: syntax error: Can’t get application id "org.macports.MacPorts".

If this works, it is only by chance. There is no requirement that a package id must match the bundle of any application(s) that it contains. The package might also install command line tools or shared libraries without a bundle id, or function solely as a wrapper to run scripts. -- Ben _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
