FOA thank for your help...
Gladly
But, imho that cant be the problem, because its builded fine for the not so intuitiv Linux. I have no idea about that OS...?
Huh?
Do I really have to go deep into OSX/unix to build a distribution with rev..?
You can do it from the _Finder_. How deep is that? In classic Mac OS the equivalent operations one had to do it with ResEdit and edit confusing resource files. I hate using ResEdit. That's what I call not so intuitive.
Does this help me to save the problem with the coyright and the icons which are lost or not installed?
Yes, simply edit Info.plist in a text editor and you can change the Copyright, Version and Icons file for the application bundle.
But the most important point is, that it worked fine, like expected, with rev 2.0...

RE: OS X app bundles. It easy. It's a packaging and distribution issue. Any good software package for OS X should also have documentation, supporting files should be put into the application bundle, and the whole bunch and be put into a .sit or .dmg file. Adjusting your application bundle to suit is just part of that packaging and distribution process. Rev doesn't and will never do all that for you.
I m very, very patient... but once, after years of waiting I would like to have a tool which does one of his main features, without forcing me to graduate in Unix...;)
Well do you want to get the job done, or nurse old wounds? ;-) It requires no Unix expertise. This really falls into the packaging and distribution realm, which you are responsible for anyways.
But re: your screenshot above, maybe I don't understand what the problem is and you should file a bugzilla report. If that's the case then I apologize for jumping to conclusions.
However, I still think that everyone distributing software for OS X needs to learn about application bundles on OS X.
Learn about app bundles here:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/ SystemOverview/AppPackaging/
Install the Free developer tools and use these utilities
IconComposer.app -- creates an .icns file which is referenced in Info.plist
Property List Editor.app -- edits .plist files in a convenient outline view.
BTW I have filed a feature request with RR for enhancing how it deals with application bundles on OS X. But in the meantime it isn't stopping me from making app bundles just how I want them.
