Sorry guys, I *will* test this(below) tonight. - It doesn't do the fancy background image (a hidden .folder with a .png), reposition and resize icons. - It will suffice to know if Finder responds to applescript 'tell application "Finder"' commands. [It does create a alias, which is mostly the same an a softlink.]
If anyone has a nice background image, that will save me making one. (and a custom folder with the logo if you can do it?) #!/bin/sh # used example http://hayne.net/MacDev/Bash/make_alias # thanks to authors # Cameron Hayne (mac...@hayne.net), December 2003 # Paul Russell (pruss...@sonic.net), May 2006 /usr/bin/osascript > /dev/null <<EOT tell application "Finder" set Src to POSIX file "/Applications" as text set Dest to POSIX file "/Users/spdegabrielle/Documents/Development/make alias test" as text make new alias file to Src at folder Dest end tell EOT mv Applications "Drag into your Applications folder(here)" ----- On Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 11:33 PM, Robby Findler <ro...@eecs.northwestern.edu> wrote: > I think that the dmg's size is proportional to the amount of data in > it not the size it claims to have as a disk so we can probably just > use 3 (or even maybe one). > > Robby > > On Tuesday, July 19, 2011, Eli Barzilay <e...@barzilay.org> wrote: >> Two days ago, Robby Findler wrote: >>> On Sun, Jul 17, 2011 at 7:25 AM, Jakub Piotr Cłapa <jpc...@zenburn.net> >>> wrote: >>> > [1]: >>> > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/96882/how-do-i-create-a-nice-looking-dmg-for-mac-os-x-using-command-line-tools >>> >>> Mecki's answer here sounds just perfect for us, since we only really >>> need one (or three, I suppose). >> >> IIUC, there are problems with the size -- IIUC, it won't grow which >> means that it'll be bigger than needed, which also means that we need >> a template DMG for each distribution kind which is 9 DMGs at the >> moment ({PPC,Intel,x86_64} and three for each -- textual, normal, >> full), and these DMGs need to live somewhere out of the repository. >> >> The AppleScript thing looks more robust, but I'm not sure if it can >> work when I'l not logged into the machine properly.
