Actually, you point out another issue: the CFBundleIdentifier is not set properly either. But as you note, that one doesn’t show up visually in Finder. But it is supposed to point at the executable file launched (in this case, the WinBox exe located at /Applications/WinBox.app/Contents/MacOS/WinBox) by the application when a user double-clicks on it. There are other settings which could also be applied, but of the ones currently in the Info.plist, those two definitely should be adjusted.
My only reason for posting was that it seems MikroTik is trying to make WinBox v4 be properly cross-platform. And to do so properly in macOS, setting the CFBundleVersion to properly reflect the app’s version is expected, so that anyone doing a “Get Info” in Finder will be able to see what version of WinBox they have. (Even open-source cross-platform apps like NetBird.io do this already.)
To say “there is not a way in winbox itself to know the version” misses the point. That may be true. But the Mac version of the application is included in the Winbox.dmg file, and the website link to this .dmg file lists the version. So the developers know on the backend what version they are bundling up and placing on their download page. All they need to do is make setting that parameter in the Info.plist part of that build process.
Speaking of the version, I also notice that the menu for the macOS version of WinBox has no “About” item anywhere. That would be another pretty standard way to let users know what version they’re using.
Mind you, my intention here is not to cause grief. It is to help make MikroTik’s Mac experience better, as that will only help both marketing and sales. (And as a MikroTik user, I want them to succeed more, as the better they do, the better supported a product line I have to work with. Win-win.)
[Now on a side note, let me add this. The very name “WinBox”–clearly “Windows Box”–just screams “We only care about Windows users.” And it has been a huge turnoff to those who don’t like using Windows, making them feel like redheaded stepchildren for preferring another OS. For those who prefer macOS or Linux (and yes, that would include me), this app has always been a royal headache. And frankly, whenever possible, we just avoid it and use the Web UI, SSH, or use a console whenever possible.
Now I would not expect MikroTik to change the name of the app. It has been around WAY too long and has too much brand awareness. But making it function as a proper macOS app so that Mac users–who either are or might consider being MikroTik users–might be more inclined to use MikroTik can only be a good thing.]
Anyway, I was watching this YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d4s7cJjehk&list=PLJ7SGFemsLl0ld4OrcnVBHg4kPk0Y2_Z9&index=7) and the guy made it sound like MikroTik wanted feedback on things like this. So here I am. Not complaining. Simply offering feedback on the macOS version of the latest WinBox v4.x to hopefully make it better.
