Good point. But if the linker on other platforms complains about the OS X specific switches, you should be able to uncheck Pass Options To Linker box, correct?
Here's the reference for what can go into the app bundle's Info.plist file: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPRuntimeConfig/index.html Some of the settings in Info.plist kind of overlap with Windows-type version resource info, hence the idea that maybe some of them could be set in Project Options | Version Info, although this would require a way to define any sort of string the way you can in Delphi, not just the limited version strings that it allows now.
