Agreed. But that's potentially not what the user wants to do.
How do you know? That's exactly what I normally do. Yet another reason
to hate installers that invariably install to /Applications. If the
user does not know how to copy/move something to /Applications he's
probably not supposed to do so anyway. And by requiring /Applications
as install path you are also requiring administrator privileges from
the user which he might not have nor need to just run your app.
Maybe with installers that are not Packages. When it comes to .pkg,
it's really easy to know.
Really? Well, I consider myself a fairly advanced user and I find it
needlessly difficult.
Sure, can you give me a list of applications sold or freely available
from Apple that are not in a Package or in an Installer?
1. Apple is an exception from the rule (I trust Apple - I don't trust
the developer of an app I have never before heard about).
2. I don't like installers from Apple either.
bye. Andreas.
P.S.: Yet another Safari update I have to patch ... metal out, change
keyboard shortcuts ...
