LSUIElement problems
-
Hi everyone!
Seems like Panther, the big bad black cat has caused me some problems.
In an app I wrote I offer the user to choose whether he/she wants to
run the application in normal mode, i.e. showing up in the dock, or in
"faceless mode", without an icon in the dock.
I did this by adding the entry LSUIElement and setting its value to a
string "1" to the package's Info.plist file, or removing it when the
user chooses to have the icon displayed.
Now this worked perfectly up until Panther showed up. Now for whatever
reason the system fails to recognize the change until I log out and
then back in again.
This is driving me mad because I can find no apparent reason. Does
anyone have a solution for this?
Any thought are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Benjamin Salanki

LaunchServices is caching the information. "touch" the application
bundle (MyApp.app) to let LaunchServices know that something has
changed.

Replying to myself, something like the following:
// In 10.3 we have to touch the app bundle, or this won't work
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] changeFileAttributes:[NSDictionary
dictionaryWithObject:[NSDate date] forKey:NSFileModificationDate]
atPath:[[NSBundle
mainBundle] bundlePath]];
