Hello Alexander, I had forgotten or didn’t know that. I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere in this list thread previously. But there is generally no reason to delete this file. Unless you don’t want it included in a zip or a GitHub project. The icon placement for multiple files with jpackage —mac-dmg-content is determined by the AppleScript. You might remember I had a related bug report. I provided a workaround with slight changes to the code invoking the AppleScript and the AppleScript. You came up with your own fix. I was impressed you did it by just changing the AppleScript but I slightly preferred the placement of my change. Again, if I remember right.
