[Qt-interest] double-click on my application bundle doesn't work

Fri Dec 4 11:41:16 CET 2009

Hi Nicolas,

      Can you just add a key to your info.plist:
 <key>LSEnvironment</key>
        <dict>
                <key>DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH</key>

 <string>/Applications/Dimdim/Screencaster.app/Contents/Frameworks</string>
        </dict>

This should solve your problem. Let me know if you have any issues/ I have
misunderstood the question wrongly.
