I have a Photoshop plugin I need to potentially install into multiple
locations (multiple Photoshop versions). I'd like to preset a menu to
the user, listing the appropriate Photoshop installations found, and
allow the user to check off the locations they want, then automatically
copy the plugin into the proper locations (which are nested inside the
plugin folders). Is this possible with an Installer Plugin for OS X 10.4
and up?
At the very least, I'd like to automatically find an appropriate
Photoshop installation location and present that as the default install
location. I haven't found a way to do that yet using scripting. Is that
possible?
The problem we have is people do not read the installation instructions
and end up installing the plugin into the default location (since we
can't preset the default location to an appropriate place). Then they
complain when the plugin doesn't show up in Photoshop. It would be ideal
to not allow them to install until an appropriate location is either
discovered automatically or selected by the user.
Any suggestions on how to deal with either of these problems?
