Is there a way to do this? For example, if I have "com.apple.InterfaceBuilder3", I'd like to get back "Interface Builder".I've just implemented some code to do this: - (NSString *) name { NSBundle * appBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:[self absolutePath]];NSString * name = [appBundle objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleDisplayName"]; if (!name) name = [appBundle objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleName"]; // this failed for "Gimp" so... if (!name) name = [appBundle objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleExecutable"]; if (!name) name = [[[self absolutePath] stringByDeletingPathExtension] lastPathComponent];if (!name) name = @"unknown"; return name; } - (NSString *) absolutePath {return [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] absolutePathForAppBundleWithIdentifier:[self bundleIdentifier]];} I don't know if the CFBundleExecutable idea is a good one or not.You could nest the conditions to make it more efficient (I just went for readability).
I think that the file manager way is the better choice because you get the localization for free... (assuming the app has a localized name).
