I think one of the other lists would be more appropriate, since this
really boils down to a question about the Finder. The filesystem
proper doesn't know anything about background images &c. But I don't
think there is a FTFF list.
I'm trying to programmatically / script a means to consistently make
a disk image with background images / minimal toolbar. I need to
create a utility for our build compiler to run whenever a new
release is made. Using Disk Utility manually really isn't an option.
Any suggestions?
IIRC, the Firefox people have a script that creates the various magic
undocumented files on the disk image which cause the Finder to present
it as desired.
The technique we use here is to hand-create a template .dmg (as a
sparse image, the .dmg can be pretty small), and have the build script
mount a copy of it and place the actual built products onto it.
