Hi, I was pretty seduced by the idea of making Apps out of X11 applications like xdvi, then associating them with.dvi files in Finder. But I somehow can not make it work.

My simple write is: /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 xdvi which works when typed in Terminal, but once the app is created, it does nothing. Can somebody help me out? I also downloaded GIMP in the X11 frame, and I don’t get it to have it as a standalone app. I know, for this there is already a Mac Bundle. But for the other X11 applications?

I can’t do this. I did mkdir -p /Desktop/MyTest.app/Contents/MacOS and saved a MyTest bash script into that folder using nano. Then chmod +x on both the script and the.app directory. The icon is that “invalid app” icon and when I try to launch it, Finder tells me: You can’t open the application “MyTest” because it’s not supported on this type of Mac. And then, a split second later: You can’t open the application MyTest because it is not supported on this type of Mac. (No quotation marks, and “it is” instead of “it’s”.) I’m using OS X 10.6.8.

I appreciate the ability to copy & paste a custom icon into the selected icon in the new application’s “Get Info” dialog box. But for deployment reasons, I would like to add a.icns icon to the package, and know that it’s there by seeing it in the application’s Resources folder and see an entry for it in the application’s Contents/Info.plist file. I’ve tried adding lines like: CFBundleIconFile iconfile after the last CFBundle statement in Info.plist file, where iconfile is the name of the.icns icon residing in the Resources folder that I created after the appify.bash run, and into which I copied the.icns icon file.

Yet I just don’t seem to be able to make this icon show up in the folder-browser displaying the new application that the newest rev of applify.bash had created. The app runs correctly, but the icon is wrong. I’ve tried copying the application to a new folder, and in this new folder, the displayed icon is still wrong in the folder browser. The icon itself seems to be in good shape; it has all lower-case letters in its name, and the reference for it in Info.plist is thought to be correct.

I’ve also tested specifying the filename with or without the icon’s.icns extension. At this point, I’m out of ideas. I’m probably missing something obvious, but I don’t know what. How does one add a nice.icns icon to a package that the newest rev of applify.bash has just created?

Is there some place to look for error messages regarding problems in reading the Info.plist file? Thanks in advance for your help! Did you ever find a solution for this?

I get the PowerPC issue as well. I am trying to make a Java program that will dynamically create a shell scripts and write it out into this structure to make am easily launch-able app icon for users. I can’t use a tool like Automator, Platypus, etc either since it needs to be written out with simple Java code. It is essentially a shell script that will call javaws to launch our application for many different deployments out there (different URLS, etc) — just want an easily double clickable app for the users. I also don’t like the solution of making a.command file While that works — hard in Java code to add an icon (OS X-specific resource bundle stuff), and hide the extension on the file name. Also it leaves the Terminal running, which would cause confusion for my users. If anyone has an idea Please let me know!

I know it’s kind of a crazy “requirement”.:). Thanks for the tip about Automator. I messed around with Lingon and.sh and.command for a while (the last one is easy to open with a click but won’t work with Lingon). Finally just opened up Automator (almost for the first time) and now have a working program which Launchbar will pick up to open up a development build of Chromium with Pepper Flash.

Here’s the command you need in case anyone’s interested in using development Chromium. ( but the underlying browser is pretty good especially if you don’t want Flash installed across your system.) /Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium -ppapi-flash-path=/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/PepperFlashPlayer/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin -ppapi-flash-version=17.0.0.134 &.
