[Pyobjc-dev] My application doesn't dock

[Bob S. <rsw...@tr...>]

I posted this over on CocoaDev and then realized that this might be
something involving PyObjC since some of the items in the applcation's plist
resource are being changed (particularly the executable and the bundle
package type).  So, I'm posting it here as well.  My apologies if you are on
both lists.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm building a new Cocoa application using PyObjC.  When running, the icon
appears in the dock correctly, but if the user drags the application icon to
the dock, it will only go in the "document" area, not the "application"
area.

I figure I must have something wrong in my plist, but I don't see it.  I
deleted all other copies of the application and rebooted to ensure that it
was using these definitions.  Here is the plist definition from my build.py:

infoPlist = Plist(
    CFBundleDevelopmentRegion='English',
    CFBundleExecutable='python',
    CFBundleGetInfoString='Goombah 0.2',
    CFBundleHelpBookFolder='Goombah Help',
    CFBundleHelpBookName='Goombah Help',
    CFBundleIconFile='Goombah.icns',
    CFBundleIdentifier='com.transpose.goombah',
    CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion='6.0',
    CFBundleName='Goombah',
    CFBundlePackageType='APPL',
    CFBundleShortVersionString='0.2',
    CFBundleSignature='????',
    CFBundleVersion='Pre-Release',

    NSHumanReadableCopyright='Copyright 2003 Transpose, LLC  All rights
reserved.',
    NSMainNibFile='MainMenu',
    NSPrincipalClass='NSApplication'
)


I notice that when I open the application file with Property List Editor,
that the CFBundlePackageType appears as 'BNDL', but when I change it to
'APPL' with Property List Editor and reboot, there is no improvement - the
user still cannot drag the application onto the dock, except in the
"document" section.

What do I need to do?
