Hello,
I have a disk image that has PackageMaker installer on it. When I
download the disk image using Safari, the PackageMaker installer is
automatically launched. Does anyone know how I can prevent it from
automatically being launched?
(I noticed that the PackageMaker installer is not automatically
launched if I simply open the disk image with out downloading it
immediately beforehand.)
Yesterday, the PackageMaker installer was not automatically
launched. The only thing I changed was that I removed a readMe file
from the disk image. Is there logic in Safari or the disk image
that causes the PackageMaker installer to be automatically launched
when there is only one file on the disk image? Is that a bug?
This might be "internet-enabled" disk images, aka IDME.
Look at the hdiutil man page:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/hdiutil.1.html
The disk image is not internet-enabled.
But it doesn't sound like your disk image is being ejected and moved
to the trash, so it's more likely that Safari auto opens "safe"
documents on disk images if there's only one file.

I just re-added the readme file and now the PackageMaker installer is
not automatically launched. This is the behavior I want so my issue
is resolved.
It would be nice to know if this is expected behavior and to
determine if it's documented. I would like to have control over this
kind of behavior.
Chuck
