One problem is that the prefpane is still loaded in System Preferences after the user uninstalls it. So the prefpane is still loaded, still visible, and now broken (clicking on stuff will probably throw exceptions). Much better to have the uninstaller in a separate app. We might consider using a script inside an Installer package for the uninstaller. Then remote uninstallation is as easy as remote installation. > Do we need to go with multiple pkg's in an mpkg, or something else? > I was thinking a pkg for each extra, docs (if we get beyond just > internet docs) and growl itself, and then a wrapper mkpg. It is possible for the pkgs to live outside the mpkg—that's how Mac OS X's installer works. I just don't know whether it's possible to set it up in PackageMaker. I'd have to look. Rather than having docs on the dmg, we might make it a help book and install it to ~/Library/Help. Then it's accessible through the standard Help Viewer menu, and through Help Viewer URLs. We can put buttons in the prefpane and GrowlMail to get to it from those places. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
