Yes, absolutely. --post originally just patched the resource fork into telling Finder that this program has no resource fork (talk about dumb ideas), but ended up creating a monster of hacks for good startup code until 10.5. Now that our code finally breaks (as Apple announced), the update of --post is overdue. > Perhaps > we just need to do the equivalent of a dummy Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar to get > the menu bar to show for non-bundled apps... I am pretty sure that that will not work without some hacking. And then it still may break in 10.7, etc. . > Even without the menu bar, applications *do* function properly, they > just don't show up in the dock. Or have a menubar, and who knows what else under the hood. Doing a bundle is the way that Apple wants it, so I guess we must comply. There is still the "open" call to allow opening a bundle from the shell. Sigh.
