Hi Johan

To edit your Info.plist, you can do the following:

1. Open Finder, and locate the Mnemosyne application (probably by going to
the "Go" menu at the top, hitting Applications, and finding Mnemosyne)
2. Right click the Mnemosyne app, and click "Show Package Contents".
3. A window pops up. Open the "Contents" folder, and you'll see Info.plist.
4. I recommend copy-pasting the file to your Desktop as a backup before
editing.
5. Open with TextEdit or something like that and you'll see a whole bunch
of XML code.

If you follow the pattern of keys and strings, it should be doable to edit
it by hand inside text edit. Make sure you're in Plain Text mode: the way
to do that is by opening the Format menu at the top. If it says "Make Rich
Text" in the menu, you're good. If it says, "Make Plain Text", then select
that item and TextEdit will convert the file to plain text mode for you.

Then you'll be able to add another entry. Here's an example of one entry in
my file right now:

<key>CFBundleDisplayName</key>
<string>Mnemosyne</string>

That means it's setting the "CFBundleDIsplayName" key to have a value of
"Mnemosyne". Looking at the link Peter provided, try copy-pasting these
four lines into the file. Make sure it's BELOW the line that says
"<dict><key>CFBundleIconFile</key>" and ABOVE the line that says "</dict>".

<key>NSPrincipalClass</key>
<string>NSApplication</string>
<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key>
<string>True</string>

If this works for you, please let me know and I'll include this addition in
our build scripts so that in future versions you won't need to make this
change.
