If you want the name displayed by the Finder, you want -
[NSFileManager displayNameAtPath:].
If you want the name the app claims for itself, you want -[NSBundle
objectForInfoDictionaryKey:] called on the bundle obtained from the
path, passing (id)kCFBundleNameKey as the key.
Cheers,

Thanks for the idea. I'm sure it will work under most situations,
but there are times when what's displayed in the Finder (ie it's
absolute path) is not necessarily the same thing as the actual
application name.
For example, I have BBEdit 8 and BBEdit 9 (trial) right now.
BBEdit 8 is at "/Applications/BBEdit.app", and BBEdit 9 is at "/
Applications/BBEdit 9.app", yet they both have the same
"NSApplicationName"/CFBundleName of "BBEdit".
I'd like to have a method that will always work, no matter what the
path is. If that's not possible, then what you outlined is the
next best thing.
Thanks!

Dave-
Just a thought....
NSString *path = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace]
absolutePathForAppBundleWithIdentifier:bundleIdentifier];
NSString *appName = [[path lastPathComponent]
stringByDeletingPathExtension];

Hi everyone,
I've been looking inside NSWorkspace, NSBundle, NSApplication,
NSFileWrapper, etc for some way to get the display name of an
application from it's bundle identifier, but I can't find
anything. Is there a way to do this? For example, if I have
"com.apple.InterfaceBuilder3", I'd like to get back "Interface
Builder".
