I would have expected an app bundle to end with ".app", but that 
doesn't seem to be the case with ImageReady, Photoshop and Primiere.  
Somehow, the finder knows.

I think the finder looks for either the bundle bit or conventions such 
as .app or .framework or .bundle or maybe more.

You might try detailed folders on the parent and see if you see 
something that looks like the bit.

You might have to recognize it by the file pattern.

(Weird, I was just looking into the Adobe bundles to see how they do 
things.  When I was looking at the Apple site on bundles I didn't 
notice any fine type for applications.)
