App Display Name Localization

[ChenZhouUC]

Describe the feature and the current behavior/state

I have been using TeXstudio for over 7 years. Recently I installed MacOS version thru HomeBrew since it is a good way to maintain all the formulae and casks. I found the App name in both Application List and Launchpad is the App folder name, texstudio-4.8.5-osx-m1.app, which I thought not elegant enough.

I thought it a solution to localize the property list using CFBundleDisplayName entry or maybe some other ways. I am not that familiar with MacOS application development. I hope you may consider this as a future plan, sincerely.

Or mayby Simply use the value of CFBundleName: TeXstudio to be displayed in Application List and Launchpad, which should be neater I think.

In Info.plist, the name is already set.

<key>CFBundleName</key>
<string>TeXstudio</string>

To add a data point, when I do the view where it shows all my active windows, mouseover on the app shows TeXstudio (the CFBundleName), but when I altcmd-tab, the app is listed as texstudio-4.8.5-osx-m1 instead of TeXstudio

Probably caused by how the zippped .app directory was named.

The non-M1 (aka macOS Intel Chip) app name experienced a change of naming scheme, from texstudio.app to texstudio-<version>-osx.app, between 4.8.5alpha1 and 4.8.5beta1. Before a texstudio-<version>-osx.dmg file was released, after a .zip file containing a directory texstudio-<version>-osx.app was released.

d7e1073 (package osx as zip as well, 2024-10-25) was the trigger.

Also note that Homebrew Cask suggests to not remove version numbers in the app name (see Homebrew doc). So the change needs to be done on TeXstudio's side.

Yes, I suppose so, too. Looking forward to an optimization coz I really like this product, and I also prefer the Homebrew maintained updates for huge convenience.
