gimp-app @2.8.2_1 : display wrong application name in the menubar
gimp-app @2.8.2_1 was installed with gimp2 @2.8.10_4 (+python27 +quartz -help_browser) to run it natively on osx not from X. It gives a wrong application name in the menu bar. It shows 'script' instead of GIMP (or gimp, or Gimp). When I launch gimp2 from the Terminal, it display correct application name 'gimp' in the menu bar.

The code for the OS X native menus in gimp2 +quartz takes the application name to be the name of file that was executed to start the app. So when you execute GIMP by hand you get 'gimp' (from $(prefix)/bin/gimp). However, when using gimp-app, the file that is executed is a symbolic link to $(prefix)/bin/gimp which resides in the app bundle's Resources directory. This was originally named 'script' but it now renamed to 'GIMP', the GIMP developers' preferred name. Note that none of this makes any difference for the X11 GIMP build where a GTK+ approach is taken.
