Just to weigh in here, anytime an application is installed, the OS asks for credentials. I assume this runs the installer with those admin credentials? If that is the case, then I think that anytime you want to put something in a System folder like Library and such, it would be a good idea to sh

With respect to all posters, this is silly. If the answer to "How do we make applications available to all users" is, "You can't do that!", then something is broke and it needs fixing. Nothing says "cheesy app from inexperienced programmers made with sub-par development tools" like apps that hav

Moving a folder

2011-07-21 Thread Chip Thomas
What's the best way to move a folder (with all contents) on a user's system? rename folder tOldFolder to tNewFolder revMoveFolder tOldFolder, tNewFolder or using a shell command Concerned about potential permissions issue that would prevent a proper move. What's the best way around that?

2011-07-21 Thread Bob Sneidar
Never done it, but I imagine you could shell out to check the permissions of where you are moving to. I don't know if there is a shell command to check effective permissions of the current user. If there are, do that. Barring that, a safer way would be to copy the files, check to make sure there
