What if i rename the Main Application's executable from /Applications/MainApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MainApp to /Applications/MainApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MainApp1 and rename my pre-startup script to MainApp (and place it in /Applications/MainApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MainApp)? The problem may occur if this is LaunchServices who is responsible for delivering info (like main nib filename, or principal class name) from the plist to the application, but as far as i know this information is retrieved by the application itself, which means that if my script launches this renamed Main Application's binary (/Applications/MainApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MainApp1) the main application should act as usual - read its plist, etc. i know It looks like a dirty hack, but is it possible to do this way, without modifying the main application (except simple renaming of its binary)? What pitfalls could i run into, doing that? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
