Re: [MACTCL] Wish: how to display a different name?

[Jim I. <ji...@ap...>]

The name comes from the Info.plist in the app bundle.  If you want a 
different name, you have to make a copy of the Wish Shell.app, and 
change the CFBundleName (at least) in Wish 
Shell.app/Contents/Info.plist.  Seems like the name & icon all come 
from LaunchServices, which needs to be able to gather them when your 
app isn't running, so there isn't a way to change them programatically 
once the program is running (you can probably do it with a haxie, but 
not legitimately.)

While you are at it, you should probably also change the 
CFBundleIconFile to something specific to your app, and the 
CFBundleSignature, so your document types will be different from Wish.
