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? It requires Cocoa/Objective-C/C knowledge. You would use NSTableView, a data source that would be your pane controller. To create the symbolic link, you can use symlink();. - (NSString *)title { return [[NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]] localizedStringForKey:@"PaneTitle" value:nil table:nil]; } - (id)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView objectValueForTableColumn: (NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn row:(int)rowIndex { if ([[aTableColumn identifier] isEqualToString: @"State"]) { return [NSNumber numberWithBool: (rowIndex==selectedInstanceIndex_)]; } else if ([[aTableColumn identifier] isEqualToString: @"Location"]) { return [array_ objectAtIndex:rowIndex]; } - (void) tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView setObjectValue:(id)object forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row:(int)row { if ([[aTableColumn identifier] isEqualToString: @"State"]) { selectedInstanceIndex_=row; } } - (void) willExitPane:(InstallerSectionDirection) inDirection { if (inDirection==InstallerDirectionForward) { if (-1==symlink([[array_ objectAtIndex:selectedInstanceIndex_] fileSystemRepresentation],"/tmp/something")) } } This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
