Yes.

icon

It is not documented yet. This part is in flux as well, more a hack.

Go to the panel 'meta data'.

Use the keys

	osx,info		OS X information string for the bundle
	osx,id		OS X identifier for the bundle
	osx,region		OS X Development Region	(Default: English)
	osx,sign		OS X Signature (4 char type code)

	osx,help		Name of Help Book Folder under English.lproj of the bundle

	osx,icon		Path of the .icns file to copy into the bundle
				The tail of that path is automatically used as the name
				of the icon.

	osx,version		CFBundleVersion
	osx,shortversion	CFBundleShortVersionString

	The osx,help specifies only the folder to register in the info.plist,
	The copying has to be done outside the wrapper.

	Generally currently no further help for doing this.

I am not sure if I would consider the wrapper to be comparable to an IDE.

Neverthless. What resources beyond Help are you thinking about, and how
would you go on specifying this in the UI ?


Regarding Icons, do you know if there is Tcl code, or other extension around
for handling .icns files ?
Display, file type detection, maybe decoding (list of icons inside, sizes,
etc.) ?
