I dont want to run it from /Applications/myapp.app/Contents/MacOS/myapp Can i link a script file containing statements (1)open -n /Applications/myapp.app or (2)open -n /Applications/myapp.app/Contents/MacOS/myapp with the application icon click.... i have tried making changes in Info.plist of the application key-Executable file value-myapp {present at /Applications/myapp.app/Contents/MacOS/myapp} changes key-Executable file value-launch.sh {present at /Applications/myapp.app/Contents/MacOS/launch.sh} As i know an Application Bundle on OS X can only be started once.by simply copying the bundle the same application can be launched twice. Is there any solution for the above problem Thanks Ankit [email]ankitverma05@gmail.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
