I'm developing a plugin (exporter) for iPhoto 08 that should be installed in ~/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins. Since installers are encouraged now, and I certainly don't want the user to have to dig around in ~/Libarary/ (using the Finder, on paths that Spotlight won't search) I thought I'd turn to PackageMaker. For deployments on 10.5 I can specify that the product only be installed into the user's Home Directory domain, and all is well. However, this PackageMaker domain is not supported on 10.4 and the (very light) documentation of PackageMaker doesn't explain how to achieve the same result on earlier versions of the OS. I've searched for a solution on the internet and it was suggested some years ago that you could install the product in a temporary directory and then have a post-install script move the installed component to its final destination. Alternatively, a symlink to a location in the home directory could be created in /tmp/ using a pre-flight script, and the installer would install through that. Is this still the way to do it in 2007?
