Hi,
I'm not a fan of /usr/local -- I'd recommend something like /opt/
gnucash.
How about this: We use something like /opt/gnucash-<version> and just
make that a symlink into wherever GnuCash.App gets put? So when we
run
GnuCash.App the first thing it does is determine its location and then
creates the /opt/gnucash-<version> symlink?
Or maybe we can do this as part of the "Install" process?
Then all the files can still live under GnuCash.App, and the user can
still put GnuCash.App wherever they want.. They can even have
multiple
versions sitting side-by-side.. And all we need is a "magic symlink"
to make it work?
What a delightfully sneaky idea! Easy to test out, too. I'll report
back. (In my exploration I found some more things that need to get
moved into the bundle, so there's a bit more work than just to create
the softlink and try it out, and I've got a bunch of real-life stuff
to do today.)
