Mike,

I found this tutorial on the web that explains what you need to do to
accomplish this. Although done in a pedantic style, the information is good.
I hope this is what you were looking for.

This seems to be very similar to what I described doing in response to Waynes reply. The major difference is that I'm using hdiutil directly from a shell script instead of manually using Disk Utility.app and I'm setting the Finder attributes using an AppleScript.


I'll verify that the manual approach yields the same partially faulty result, just to be sure...

...yep, seems to produce the same result as my script base solution.


If your dmg is for download or a CD and you want the dmg to auto mount after
it's downloaded or the CD inserted, use this utility before you do the final
'New Image from Volume or Folder’ step:

Thanks! I'll take a look at it. This is not my primary concern at the moment though.


A bit of searching on the internet did produce the bless tool as the main trick to get the window to open with its saved settings. I'm still working on the window size problem, though Wayne has given me a workaround.

	bless -folder "/Volumes/$PKGNAME" -openfolder "/Volumes/$PKGNAME"


Sorry if this is an off topic reply.

Perfectly on topic to my question which might not be on topic for this list though ;-)



Thanks!

Mike
