It is now required. I learned this trick from developer.apple.com. Not sure why quicken does not have one. but the info.plist is required. figured all the ins and outs of the bundle. I am however working on it. the PkgInfo is put there by installer as far as i know. I just know that all i have to have is the info.plist in there with the correct info in it and it will become a full application just like quicken.

If you open TextEdit's Info.plist file you'll see stuff like the following.

Well, I just looked at a Quicken data file, which is a bundle containing a number of folders and files, and there is no Info.plist file within it. There is a PkgInfo file which contains the 8 characters BDATINTU, the Type and Creator codes. Other than that everything is a Quicken specific item within the Bundled folder. So, because of this, I don't think the Info.plist file is the key to making a bundled "Data" folder as is wanted by the originator of this thread.
