Hi Ken: Thanks for your reply. I see where you're coming from regarding NSWorkspace, and it seems like a great idea! How would you recommend scanning it? A loop or something else more creative? ;) Is there some reason it is better/easier to use the bundle identifiers instead of the name? And I assume you would get this by sorting through NSWorkspace as well.
