hello again, i have worked on this a bit more. so far i have come up with this:
NSArray *urls; _LSCopyAllApplicationURLs(&urls); i can use this to find all the apps on a system. then using NSBundle i can get the identifier. to be more specific on what i'm trying to do i would like to be able to review the files in a preferences folder and find the related app on the system. so i was trying to come up with a list of identifiers for comparison. but it seems that some files in a preferences folder (plists) do not match up with the identifier of the related app. maybe this is due to the fact that a single app can create multiple plist files. any input on how i can achieve what i'm trying to do? hope this makes sense and thanks again, rick ________________________________ From: Nikhil Khandelwal <[email protected]> To: Rick C. <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 5, 2009 5:34:23 PM Subject: RE: finding bundle identifiers -----Original Message----- From: cocoa-dev-bounces+nikhil_khandelwal=persistent.co...@lists.apple.com [mailto:cocoa-dev-bounces+nikhil_khandelwal=persistent.co...@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Rick C.
