Front Row

This seems to be pretty important, and I'm curious when and to what degree I should be cautious about the naming used in code. At this time I am mainly concerned about Apple apps themselves that should normally be in the system.

Subsequently, is there any difference concerning 10.3 / 10.4 / 10.5 ?


If you're dealing with a file path, then of you of course need to specify the extension -- it's part of the file name. You've always had to, and always will have to.
