Can I change an application's listed category in the Finder? In the Finder, the Applications directory has an option to sort by "Application Category," which splits apps into groups like Productivity, Social Networking, Music, etc.



I have a number of apps listed under "Other" which I would like to assign to one of these other less-generic categories. Is it possible to change this? I looked in the Get Info window and don't see anything about the category listed.

  To add or modify a category, you have to open the application bundle
  ('Show Package Contents', the under the folder Contents open the file
  'Info.plist'). 
  
  You then can change the existing category by changing the key called
  'LSApplicationCategoryType' (or create the category by adding a child
  named accordingly).


A list of possible categories is listed here:
