Ouch. Trust me, I'm taking notes on the whole thread. D&D is a shortcut, not meant to be the main way to choose it. You only need to pick the Installer app itself, you don't need to dig inside for the dmg - that's how I knew what the dmg path was, I looked it up in that code. > It would have been clearer, I think, if the initial wizard window showed an > entry for choosing an OS X installer, along with the handful of other things > that are in its main list. Hmm... it's the same path as the big button, so a separate button to do the same thing might be more confusing. But we could change the wording and icon - who really uses CDs anymore, anyway? > They probably don’t want to be too overt about it.

Apple's pretty chill about it as long as we stay inside the lines. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
