Hi!
This a question related to building installers in general, not
necessarily using the Installer.app packages. So I hope I'm on topic
here.
As the last step in creating an insataller I am currently setting up
a Finder window with the layout and the contents I want to deliver.
Then I create a disk image file from that folder.
My problem is that the mounted image does not open in the same layout
that I specified before creating the Finder window.
So my question is: How do I get an image to open a Finder window with
a certain layout after mounting it in the Finder?
I have tried using AppleScript to 'update' the items contained in the
window as well as the folder shown in the window as well.
I have also noticed that there is no .DS_Store file at the top level
of my Finder window. And I see no way to force one to be created.
I know this can be done because many products delivered on disk
images invariably open to custom view settings and layout in the Finder.
Anyone know how to do this? Thanks!
Mike
