PackageMaker 3: a bug, some strange stuff and a few suggestions

Package Format: 10.5

Playing with a fake installer for Stickies.

o Bug 1:

When you click Patch for the Stickies choice, you are granted with a not so good looking dialog. If you drag and drop Stickies.app in the text field, nothing is done. If you select the Choose button, it does work.

o Strange Stuff 1:

When you create a patch of Stickies.app using the same application version for the diff, the installKBytes size is to be 5 MB. It's strange it can be 5 MB, when the difference is actually null and the payload is less than 48 KB.

o Strange Stuff 2:

When you select downgradable for the Stickies.app package, it just set the package to be relocatable (relocatable="true").

Is this just a strange way of saying it's downgradable or more possibly a bug?

o Suggestions:

	- It would be nice to have syntax coloring in the Flat Package Editor.

- It would be nice to have proper indentation in the Flat Package Editor.
