Hi,

I've recently (yesterday) downloaded the latest version of DOSBox for OSX, and noted that double-clicking the application starts correctly from the mounted .dmg file, but does not start at all once copied out of the mounted .dmg file.

The issue is with DOSBox.app/Contents/Info.plist, where the executable to run is specified as:

<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>DOSBox</string>

Whereas it should be specified as

<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>DosBox</string>

...which fixes the problem.

This issue occures because Mac OS X allows users to have a case-insensitive filesystem, but it also allows a case-sensitive filesystem, where "DOSBox" and "DosBox" are different files.
