Slava, I am not exactly sure what format your plist files are in, but in the bundles I have done, they are in an XML format...
Based on the download from: http://www.macromedia.com/support/director/ts/documents/bundle_proj.htm My info.plist file reads (watch for linebreaks): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd"> <plist version="0.9"> <dict> <key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key> <string>6.0</string> <key>CFBundlePackageType</key> <string>APPL</string> <key>CFBundleSignature</key> <string>foo!</string> <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>foo</string> <key>CFBundleIconFile</key> <string>MyIcon.icns</string> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.macromedia.Otto</string> <key>CSResourcesFileMapped</key> <false/> <key>CFBundleExecutable</key> <string>stubX</string> <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key> <string>1.0</string> <key>CFBundleVersion</key> <string>1.0</string> <key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key> <string>1.0, © 2002 Macromedia. All rights reserved.</string> </dict> </plist> and the contents of the pkgInfo file looks like: APPLfoo! So the bundle signature of the info.plist file matches the line in pkgInfo. Is your notation an alternative to this syntax, or is it just simplified for readability? Also notice, that I added the CFBundleIconFile key to the existing plist file so that you can use a custom icon for the projector bundle. I believe there were some good postings on how to create icon resource files (.icns) and corresponding paste-able icons for the getInfo window earlier this year in either this list's archives or the Direct-L list... I can't locate the exact message at the moment though... Hope this helps! ~Mathew -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Slava Paperno Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 6:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: <lingo-l> OSX/9 bundle puzzle: foo.app = foo.app Thanks a million for responding, Matt. Here they are: { CFBundleDevelopmentRegion = English; CFBundleExecutable = Start; CFBundleGetInfoString = "Start Application"; CFBundleIconFile = "Start.icns"; CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion = "6.0"; CFBundleName = Start; CFBundlePackageType = APPL; CFBundleShortVersionString = "1.0"; CFBundleSignature = CFINTRO; CFBundleVersion = "1.0"; } { BuildVersion = 02; CFBundleShortVersionString = "1.0"; CFBundleVersion = "1.0"; ProjectName = Start; ReleaseStatus = GM; SourceVersion = 0200; } "Start" is the name of my projectors and the topmost folder, Start.app. (I used "foo.app" in my original post because that's what the MM write-up uses.)
