Hi Richard,
Now that you gave me the custom property name, I searched the archive for
it, and found very helpful information on how to find the Standalone
properties in the main stack.
I think this kind of stuff should be readily available to a rev developer
and not "hidden" in a custom property, as it does not appear in a search in
the Dictionary or in the User Guide. These are the basic things for a
developer to want to access, for their application.
They're just custom properties. As Jacque noted, they're readily
accessible in the IDE through the Inspector.
I agree that particular set of props is very useful, because they
contain the essentials that define much of your app: its name, version,
document types, etc.
With that info stored in one tidy place, all sorts of tools can use it
to make generalized components, from version management to installers
and frameworks and a whole lot more.
I believe Trevor's framework uses it, as do mine and Ken's, and it's
been proposed in the Rev Interoperability Group that we use them
whenever practical going forward:
