For one of our products I use a disk image for users to install
software. The user is supposed to drag the application to the
Applications directory. Invariably, someone always double-clicks on
the application on the disk image and becomes confused. Next, they
send tech support emails, etc.
I have two questions:
1. Does anyone know of a good generic description of how to install
an application from a disk image? I have a customer that doesn't
understand that they're running my application from the disk image.
We've already gone back and forth quite a bit. I'm looking for
something like this, but generic:
http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omniweb/download/
2. It would be great if the Finder could warn, not allow, or allow
launching from a disk image. This could be a property added to the
info.plist of an application. Has this been considered? Should I file
a bug/request?
Thanks,
Chuck
