Problem here:
[benjadrine at ravioli vlc-trunk]$ cp -rf VLC.app ~/sandbox/
cp: VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/modules/libmacosx_plugin.dylib: No such
file or directory
cp: VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/modules/libminimal_macosx_plugin.dylib: No
such file or directory

I also have a problem with the icon in the dock. If I drag'n'drop the
vlc.app folder to the doc, I have a nice icon. But when I run it, the
icon is weird.

There is a qmake

Last, drag'n'dropping files on the icon dock does not load it:
There is this document:
http://chaos.troll.no/~ahanssen/devdays2007/BringingYourAppToTheMac.pdf
that tells how to do that.

I think you just have to add this to the code, and do the right thing
in the (do your file stuff).

bool MyApplication::event(QEvent *event)
{
    switch (event->type()) {
    case QEvent::FileOpen:
        QString fileName =
static_cast<QFileOpenEvent *>(event)->file();
    // ... (do your file stuff)
return true;
     default:
  return QApplication::event(event);
}
}
