Hi,
i hope this is a stupid question and i am missing something
obvious, but i'm running into the following usability problem in PM:
when i add a folder with files (for example, an .app bundle, or a
framework) to be installed in PackageMaker, Pm will show me a list
of all files it finds in the folder, and i can fine-tune the
selection of files i actually want to deploy, using checkboxes.
that's fine. now, as pro project evolves, new files get added (or
old filed get removed) from the folder - but the list in PM never
updates. i notie that PM will automatically deploy new files that
are in the folder, but i lose the ability to fine-tune and
selectively disable individual files (or even just see, at a
glance, what gets shipped).
the only way i could find for PM to get the new list of files was
to remove the entire item and re-add it (losing, of course, all my
settings).
is this how things are supposed to work? is it a known bug/
limitation? am i missing something obvious?
It looks like a bug whatever direction you're looking at:
- it should not include the files in the payload if they are not
displayed in the UI as being included.
- it should display the files in the UI to reflect the actual
contents of the folder because the UI tells this is the contents of
the folder that is displayed.
