That's a debate that's probably more appropriate for another list, but it's the first thing I thought of. I already use another tool that automates this process (FileStorm) but I've been on the fence for awhile about the use of disk images because of the regular user support problems it sets up. I say that only to impart anecdotal goodness: I've been accused of deleting someone's application after they rebooted as an underhanded tactic. They apologized (albeit bitterly) when they realized they didn't follow the installation instructions and the application's disk image had simply been unmounted upon reboot. Because of course my goal is to screw the users for no apparent reason, giving them fuel for their blogs ... Anyway, Seth: this looks like a well-polished utility from the screenshots alone. Congrats and thanks! I'll download it and give it a closer look when I have more time. -- I.S. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
