Re: [MACTCL] Creating a .app from source

Dear Damon,

 > I tweaked the Info.plist file, and I’m pretty sure it’s right.

In my Info.plist I have the following lines, embedded in the larger xml 
structure, to say it will try to open anything.

<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
<array><string>*</string></array>

The operating system appears to have some memory of previous values for 
the CFBundleTypeExtension, however, so that when I change it from "*" to 
"yyy" it still lets me open "txt" files. I seem to recall having to 
re-start the finder to get the changes to be accepted.

Here is an example open document procedure declaration.

proc tk::mac::OpenDocument {args} {
   puts "$args"
}

I believe these are the only two steps I had to take with a Wish shell 
compiled with "make embedded" from 8.5.8 sources, and I can open 
documents by dropping on the icon in MacOS 10.7.5. I want to re-compile 
and make sure a clean application with these two steps will work, but 
I'm having some technical problems with the compile (don't have 
/Developer/Tools/Rez) so will be delayed.

Yours, Kevan
