Mac OS X Utility : GetInfo for App

GetInfo for App

version 0.3, Novemver 6th

Written by Basuke <basuke@siesta.co.jp>.

When I walk around Mac OS X, I sometimes want to know a little bit more deeply inside the application, such as what framework this application uses. Cocoa or Carbon? CFM or Mach-O? Does this use Java?

So I wrote "GetInfo for App" utility. It checks the application and guess some informations for that app. Simple enough, isn't it?

Download GetInfo for App 0.3

How to use

1.Name
The name of application.

2.Framework
Runtime architecture for the app.

3. Binary Kind
Library kind that uses on the app.

4. Packaging
Single file or directory package.

5. Location
Location of the application.

Click "Choose" button or select "Choose..." from "File" menu. Or simply just drag & drop the file onto application icon [new 0.2].

The guess for Carbon Mach-O application was wrong, such as Dock.app or Desktop.app. Fixed.

The location field can now display long path string.
It has shown wrong binary kind if the file was single executable Carbon application. Fixed.
Now you can open application files by drag & drop onto GetInfo for App icon.

Note about Cocoa programming

This is my first Cocoa application. It's not so hard for me to write code for Cocoa.Most time consuming work was that real oriented icon.
