I filed a ticket to support this (proper support for document types, support for app bundle is another isuse). While this doesn't mean that it will be implemented and I consider it a low priority anyway, can someone please correct my assumptions about how this works (or should work)? Here's the ticket: http://bugzilla-geant4.kek.jp/show_bug.cgi?id=1498 Just a note: this is about Geant4 applications that are usually started from command-line and open a Qt window on request or by default (they could be used in command-line/text-only mode and open X11 windows, but let's forget about these). By stripping the -psn_* argument the application can easily be bundled as Something.app and this works out-of-the-box with the "app" PortGroup. I wrote my speculations, but I would like to be corrected if I wrote nonsense.
