- Thread-topic: How to control component package names?
PackageMaker 3 automatically names component packages when I add a component
to a project. I can't find a way to control these names, or in particular
their capitalization. For example, my PFEventTaps.framework folder is given
the automatic name "pfeventtaps.pkg," and my Event Taps Testbench
application is automatically given the name "eventTapsTestbench.pkg." (I
can't make out the logic that causes one of them to have all its capital
letters converted to lowercase, while the other has only its first capital
letter converted to lower case.)
This is unfortunate, because Installer displays these names as is during
installation. I would rather the user see that "PFEventTaps" or "PFEventTaps
Framework" is currently being installed, than "pfeventtaps."
Changing the package identifier in PackageMaker has no effect. Naming the
install choices has no effect, either. The latter is especially surprising,
because I would have expected the editable installer choice name to be used
for this purpose as well as for the purpose of populating the customize
dialog in Installer.
I suppose I could change the component package names via script, but I fear
that this might interfere with the functioning of the installer package. Can
anybody steer me in a useful direction on this?
