Hello, and excuse this novice question. I really googled around, and even 
re-briefed Cocoa Binding docs and so on - but something eludes here - 

I want something very simple, yet all the methods I can think of are quite 
cumbersome and indirect.

I simply want an NSTextField (Label) in one of my windows, to display the 
“short version string” which is in the App Bundle’s info-plist, at the 
“CFShortVersionString”. I hoped to do this via binding in my .xib - directly 
against the Application object, or any other always-available controller.

Now this is NOT in the userDefaults, so I can’t bind to 
NSUserDefaultsController. This is also not in the NSAppliction or its delegate. 
I only know to retrieve this value using the NSBundle API - 

[[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleDisplayName”] 

but that’s hardly bind-able, and NSBundle isn’t a controller per se. 

I must be missing something very simple and stupid. 

Hint anyone?

Motti Shneor.
