Sending this again, as it seemed to disappear from the list...
PackageMaker 3.01 (Leopard) has an Actions function that is supposed
to let you create an alias as a Postinstall Action.
I could find no documentation on how this is supposed to work.
Looked in PackageMaker_UserGuide_10.5.pdf.
I tried several variations and got no aliases.
I used this syntax:
Point to Component (then selected the .app), Alias Path: /Desktop
(also tried /Desktop/)
Since the package I am installing has about a dozed file in the
program folder, I don't want to force the user to find the right one
and put in on the Desktop or Dock.
I would like to be able to put an Alias in the Dock and on the Desktop.
I know it doesn't suit some people's tastes to plunk things on the
users workspace, but that is my choice, and knowing my users, they
will like my choice.
Any help deeply appreciated, if you know of some more detailed
documentation, that would be great, also.
Thanks, Jim Hoyt, Filemaker Developer, Great Cacapon, West Virginia.
