What about Apps that aren't Bundles?
Authored by: pualo on Apr 20, '01 03:02:05AM

Is there a way to add a plist to an application that is currently an actual standalone file? That is, is there a way to package up an application inside of a bundle yourself?

What about Apps that aren't Bundles?
Authored by: GaelicWizard on Oct 14, '02 01:10:40AM
a short while ago i was going crazy trying to make an app run with super user privs. at the time i did not have pseudo, now i do. I had some pseudo-like app that only made bundle-apps run w/ admin privs. I experimented with making app bundles from complete app-files. basically all you have to do is make the PkgInfo & Info.plist files in the bundle's contents folder look correct w/ the right type & creator codes then put the real app in the MacOS folder inside the Contents folder in the whatever.app folder. now i think that this makes it a package and everything is fine and dandy. i think this will allow this hack to work.

I may be wrong, have fun!
