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?
A solution for the many to one case:
- look for the location(s) of Photoshop.
- display that in the Installation Pane.
- When the user has selected the one they want, create a symbolic to the
destination folder in /tmp.
I haven't found any documentation on doing these last two steps. Have
any pointers?
