How to change an application "menu" name

Hi,

I'm wondering how to change the name that an application places as the title
of the left-most menu.

It seems to have no correlation to the name of the file. You can change the
name of an application to whatever you want in the Finder, but the menu will
still be named whatever it was before.

I want this behavior in my App. It was built with CW 8 and is a Carbon
app...I notice that all the apps I've built with PB have the "static menu
name" property even if the filename of the app changes.

I tried just recreating the package that PB builds, and putting my CW app in
it, but no luck. Any ideas?

In your property list, add the CFBundleName key and specify the name you
want for the menu as its value. There is an Apple Tech Note about
'plst' resources that is helpful for this info.

My app doesn't seem to have a property list, though. (All PB apps do, CW
apps don't seem to). It's just a pure Carbon app, using old-style
resources, and is not a folder. Where would the plist be?

Even though I have specified that CW should produce a plst resource (in the
Project Settings->Target->Property List settings), nothing is outputted.
Even if I specify that it should output as a file, it still doesn't seem to
output anything when I build the target.

Is there something I'm missing?

Well, you need to tell it what to put in the plist by editing the .plc file. If
you don't have one, start a new project from a stationery and see what's
supposed to go in there.
