Thanks Jacque. I just want to get the version info I put into the standalone settings when it was built. I guess I prefer to get it from the plist file because I know if I put it into a custom property, I will forget to do it at some point and then the version displayed in the Get Info window will be out of step with what's in my app's ABout dialog. Just don;t like storing the same information in two different places.
I'm also planning to try coding a savingStandalone handler to get the version from the standalone settings and put it into a custom property. Pete On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 10:11 PM, J.
