Description

Describe the feature and the current behavior/state

I have been using TeXstudio for over 7 years. Recently I installed MacOS version thru HomeBrew since it is a good way to maintain all the formulae and casks. I found the App name in both Application List and Launchpad is the App folder name, texstudio-4.8.5-osx-m1.app, which I thought not elegant enough.

I thought it a solution to localize the property list using CFBundleDisplayName entry or maybe some other ways. I am not that familiar with MacOS application development. I hope you may consider this as a future plan, sincerely.
