The operating system hides the "folderness" of a package (application) to discourage casual users from peeking inside and messing things up. But if you want to see what's there: Ctrl-click (or right click) on the package (application) icon and click "Show Package Contents."
Most packages do not change anything significantly outside of the package itself. However some might install a font or something which would not be deleted if you drag the package to the trash. That is unless the package contains an uninstall script which is activated upon dragging the app to the trash. On 5/2/07, Roger E. Rustad, Jr. <[email protected]> wrote:
Anybody have any resources / insight as to what really happens when you drop application icons into the trash? I remember a discussion with someone from our group (I think it was Chris Louden) who was telling me about other things that happen (or don't happen) behind the scenes when you do that. I remember thinking, "I should look that up and see for myself." _______________________________________________ 909linux mailing list [email protected] http://909linux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/909linux
