My Qt application is showing up with a rather unfriendly name on the Mac OS X menu. The name looks like my_funky_app.
How do I change this to something more likeable?

Have an Info.plist and set the CFBundleName as your nice name.
<key>CFBundleName</key> <string>FancyAppName<string>

For those with CMake, these properties can be set with
set_target_properties(). In particular, the application/bundle name is set with MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUNDLE_NAME.Change the TARGET line in your .pro file:
TARGET = FancyAppName

Awesome, solved. I might add, if you want to use spaces, stick the app name in double quotes. ;)

Is there another way to do this at runtime? See, I need to whitelabel my product and it would be great if I could swap an INI file and this menu change automatically (via code that reads the INI file, of course).
