  • Change instruction set names and casing

    Change instruction set names and casing

    My fork changes the instruction set names to their more standardized versions. Generally, processor instruction set names don't contain uppercase letters by convention, and most people use a dash for x86-64, not an underscore. It's not wrong, just less common. Also, i386 is a line of processors, while x86 is the name of the instruction set, so I changed that too. And the PowerPC changes are pretty obvious haha.

    I don't have an M1 Mac, but this project seems awesome for those who do. Definitely a great idea! Until I can get my hands on one, I'm stuck with my x64 Hackintosh lol

    I deleted the 32-bit PowerPC case because it seemed that if the application was in fact a PowerPC application, it would always appear as a 32-bit PowerPC app because the case statement was checking for the same thing for both 32- and 64-bit (NSBundleExecutableArchitecturePPC).

    Hi Billy, thanks for the great app.

    What is the license for this code? I didn't see one attached to the repo. Wondering if I can fork and modify for my own use.

  • Suggestion: Add option to display Intel apps as either x86_64 or amd64

    Suggestion: Add option to display Intel apps as either x86_64 or amd64

    This is kind of obscure, but some users may appreciate a configuration option to display 64-bit Intel apps as either x86_64 or amd64, as these are both technically correct, but one may be preferred over the other. May be more trouble than it's worth to implement, just a suggestion.
