Thanks Kevin. The reason is that indeed. But it's pretty obvious, that complicating a building step by yet another transaction into a Mac and back isn't exactly ideal. I read docs for ZIP and it seems there are "external attributes", which may contain permissions, but I tried to hack it, but it seemed like the Mac created attributes are just completely random, or I just don't get the numbers.
One more thing - I recently tried the "BetterZip" on my Mac and it turns out, it works well here. So it seems the permissions without "x" are created on some machines only.
About the DMGs - quite frankly, I consider this system pretty horrible, mounting images and stuff... It's so inconvenient. But it would be ok, if the DMG would actually run the installer upon mounting - is that possible? And is it possible to create such thing on Windows? Or at least let's say I have an APP file, the setup to be specific, and I want to create a DMG from just this app, which would run the APP after mounting. Is it possible to do this in command line? The reason is, that it is absolutely out of question to do this manually, so I need an automated approach.
