[QUOTE="technologist, post: 158115, member: 4134"] A Macintosh application can only exist on a Mac-formatted disk. If you try to copy a Mac app to a disk with a Windows format (FAT32) then the file will lose the metadata needed to recognize it as a Mac application. Same thing if it is sent as an eMail attachment or sent over FTP. To preserve the metadata, you can enclose a Mac app in a disk image (.dmg) or a Stuffit archive (.sit) before copying. [/QUOTE]
