Re: What is -launchApplication:'s "name of the application"

I was just thinking about the Discussion in the documentation some more, and it implies that the name would be the name of the .app package in the filesystem. So, that might be the answer, but then, this is going to break if the user changes the name of the package. Seems odd.

What is -launchApplication:'s "name of the application"
