He said this is done by "blessing" a folder on the disk image, but I'm
not sure he has his terminology right - that was done on Mac OS 9 to
indicate which folder was the system folder. But anyway, he says that
blessing this folder has the right results in OS X 10.4.
Yes, it sounds odd, but the "bless" command line program is what I use
for that purpose. I have an AppleScript that basically does this:
bless -folder mypath -folder9 mypath -openfolder mypath
(I suspect that the -folder9 argument may not be needed.)
When he opens the disk image on Leopard, the desired folder opens, but
not when it's burned to CD-R.
Is this a bug or a feature? What should we be doing to get a folder
to open on CD insert?
After blessing the folder on the disk image, it may be necessary to
unmount the disk image before burning it, to make sure the information
gets saved. Other than that, it seems to work for me, at least for the
root folder.
