Hello all!

I've run across an interesting situation that I can't think of a solution
for and wanted to see if anyone else has run across it, and if so, if they
were able to fix it.

I've had a user tell me that Print Window, which is a Mach-O REALbasic-built
application can not be used with limited Mac OS X user accounts. By limited
accounts, I mean those that have been limited to only being able to launch
pre-selected applications.

For example, under Mac OS X 10.4.x:

1. Create a standard user in the Accounts preferences pane in System
Preferences (or use a pre-existing standard account).
2. Select the new user in the accounts list to the left.
3. Click the "Parental Controls" tab.
4. Click the check box next to "Finder & System"
5. Click the "Configure..." button  to the right of "Finder & System"
6. Select "Some Limits" in the sheet window.
7. Select "This user can only use these applications:"
8. Click the disclosure triangle next to "Applications" in the listbox.
9. Note that REALbasic Mach-O apps do not appear in this list, even if they
are located in the system "Applications" folder (at the root of the startup
drive)
10. Click the "Locate..." button at the bottom of the sheet window.
11. Find a REALbasic-made Mach-O application. Click the "Add" button.
12. Witness the dialog letting you now the application "does not work with
the limitations you have selected."

I have reproduced this problem with any Mach-O REALbasic-built application,
even a test application with no code in it, just the default project. PEF
apps appear to work fine.

I'm guessing something is wrong with the "Info.plist" file generated by
REALbasic, but I have no idea what.

Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Sincerely,

Scott
