Does anyone know of a document that explains recommended installer practices
and locations for current OSX software?
I'm updating an older app that I've been distributing from back in the OS 9
days; I've not been doing things "right" for a long time (I'm sure), but I'd
like to correct that with this new Intel-compatible release.
For example, my app ships with a default datafile (what you could refer to
as a document), and it is possible for the user to begin modifying it. It
ships with other auxiliary files that the user needs to load onto USB sticks
and transfer to external musical instruments. None of this stuff makes sense
to go in the bundle.
I used to install a folder in the applications folder, containing the app
bundle and all the other stuff like the default document, pdf help files,
etc. It seems now that only a bundle is supposed to go into the applications
folder - so where do you put the rest of the stuff? ~/Library/Application
Support? ~/Documents?
There must be an Apple Dev doc about how to do this, but I couldn't quite
find it.
Thanks,
- Stephen
