qt put multiple executables into one bundle on mac OSX -
we have 4 mac applications form part of 'suite', each use different scientific instrument connected via usb.
my colleagues on windows have developed splash screen app lets choose 1 of 4 separate programs run, depending on instrument using. on windows splash screen app in same folder other executables , dependencies , libraries included in same folder well. easy clicking required radio button , program launch.
what hoping on mac os x bundle 4 separate programs 1 app bundle , splash screen, when application launched user presented splash screen, when choose appropriate app gets launched automatically.
the dependencies , libraries common apps.
i'm comfortable building app bundle dependencies using mac deployment tool i'm unsure if possible build multiple binaries 1 app bundle, , how set default app launched (the splash screen).
thanks in advance :)

yes, multiple app bundles inside app bundle possible.
how set default app launched
as you're aware, when build bundle, main executable binary file resident in bundle's contents/macos folder.
also in bundle info.plist file, manifest os x uses, amongst other things, know binary execute when user runs application. in case, key cfbundleexecutable names binary in contents/macos folder.
if copy other application bundles resources folder, can locate them splash screen app , execute required.
