In the application folder I am referring to is
the application bundle, some PDFs (doc) and a Plugins folder with one
plugin bundle in it. I think the application expects the plugins to be
in this specific place i.e., the Plugins folder in the applications
folder.
My recommendation for this would be:
1 Put the PDFs in the Resources folder in the app, and add Help menu
entries to display them.
2a Put the Plug-Ins folder in the Contents folder in the app and use
it from there; OR
2b Put the Plug-Ins folder in the Resources folder, and on launch
copy it in to ~/Library/Application Support/Your App Name/Plug-Ins
and use it there.
3 Forget about the dmg and use .zip instead. There is no real reason
to use dmg except for the pretty background, and it adds confusion to
the users who run it from within the disk image and don't understand
why it then disappears when they log out. We switcher from .dmg to
.zip and (like other developers) got zero comments about the change.
BTW, would someone please standardize on the spelling and
capitalization of "Plug-Ins"?! It is spelled
Plug-Ins
Plug-ins
PlugIns
Plugins
and probably othes.
Plug-Ins seems the most common.
Enjoy,
Peter.
