Description

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.

Research direction

Start by locating how the macOS application bundle and its property list are generated, then review the existing packaging configuration for the app name. Confirm the display name used in Application List and Launchpad, and verify that it no longer exposes the versioned app-folder name.
