hello,

anyone know how to create a dmg image which will open itself when mounted and will contain a picture as a background which is in hidden file? i tried that and i wasn't much successful. i'd like to create image similar to omni group images :).

thanks,


For the picture:

With the Terminal, put a picture in a hidden folder on your disk image (a folder with a name name that begin with a ".") and then simply set this image to be the background of the window (menu View/Show View Options in the Finder). You'll have to type the path in the Finder file dialog because you will not see the hidden folder. The path should be something like "/Volumes/YourDMGDisk/.hiddenFolder/YourPicture.png".

For the automatic window opening, I think that if you unmount the disk image while the window is opened, it will be re-opened automatically next time the dmg is mounted. not sure.


Sandy.
