In working with getting stuff configured for real OSX functionality, I
find that it is currently a pain, regardless of Ken and Richard's
helpful insights. And could use yet some additional help.
The problems are these -
1) The bundles created by Rev appear as Classic apps regardless of their
"prefer carbon" status, and therefore the "show package contents" is not
available. The only resolution I've found to to use Resploder, and rip
the package apart by the threads.
2) The pLst editor does not allow editing of some of the content which
displays in the get info dialog. Particularly the version, etc. I
personally don't like to put out an application where every version
reports itself as 1.1.1
3) I still have not gotten my document files to properly associate with
the creator application. The apple events seems particularly tenuous
under OSX.
Any additional thoughts or assistance are appreciated.
I am strongly considering building my own pLst and resource editor under
Rev. I know it can be done more elegantly than what I am seeing right
now.
