At jpackage 19, I filed a bug on this but don’t have a number yet.
I did do a little looking at the DMGSetup.scpt AppleScript on my own.
I was thinking this…
-- Create alias for install location
make new alias file at POSIX file "DEPLOY_VOLUME_PATH" to POSIX file
"DEPLOY_INSTALL_LOCATION" with properties {name:"DEPLOY_INSTALL_LOCATION”}
Could be replaced with simply…
-- Create alias for install location
make new alias file at POSIX file DEPLOY_VOLUME_URL to POSIX file
DEPLOY_INSTALL_LOCATION with properties {name:”Applications”}
Assuming the folder is always “Applications”. Then it occurred to me you might
be doing some localization for this folder name.
I then found this which could possibly be used…
-- Create alias for install location
set DEPLOY_APPLICATION_NAME to displayed name of (path to applications
folder) -- i18n name
make new alias file at POSIX file DEPLOY_VOLUME_URL to POSIX file
DEPLOY_INSTALL_LOCATION with properties {name:DEPLOY_APPLICATION_NAME}
Which appeared to provide the localization?
Determining the folder name in the AppleScript could eliminate some of the
other parameterization in use. If it isn’t possible you might have to add a new
parameter for the folder name without the leading / or parse it out in the
script somehow.
Possibly localization, if the AppleScript does support it, could be an option
the developer may or may not want.
