Ok, a little clarity has appeared. After all the
contents are copied, the new item on the disk all of a
sudden LOOKS like an application, not like a folder
anymore (as the correct icon). But the copy of the
app won't execute. I opened the copied package with
the Finder's "Show Package Contents", and I noticed
that some of the contents of the copied package had
the old name (makes sense) so I used the Finder to
open the package and change their names to match the
new copied name of the application package, but the
copied app package still won't execute, it just
crashes.
Shouldn't copying a program file be simpler than all
this??? (Sorry, I'm a Windows guy normally!!!)
