Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:9 m.thon@…]:
 > @ryan: Using the new app-Portgroup, is it possible to further configure
 the Info.plist file (to add CFBundleDocumentTypes and
 LSEnvironment->PATH)? And to add Resources (filetype icons)?

 There are no provisions for these things in the app portgroup right now.
 We could investigate adding such things, but I assumed that no developer
 would actually go to the trouble of supporting Mac-specific events like
 odoc without also putting together their own app bundle.

 Sorry I have not responded to your earlier comments in this ticket but the
 effort you're going to here, while clearly valiant, is way above and
 beyond what I would put into an application bundle in a port, and that's
 why I haven't had the concentration to attempt to evaluate your work. If
 ipe wants to offer a first-class experience on Mac OS X, with app icons
 and document icons and properly responding to Mac events, then those
 efforts should occur in the ipe source code, not in the portfile. I'm not
 sure from what you wrote but it sounds like maybe that's the direction
 you're already moving here?
