Oh, yes, I see : the disk image should have two top-level folders, one called "kicad" which the user should drag to the Applications folder (or wherever) and the other called libraries, which the user should drag to the library install location (generally ~/Library/Application Support/kicad). Some commercial programs which ship as a disk image are quite clever, and they'll have a background image which shows the folders pointing to an alias of the destination, with instructions to the user "DRAG HERE!" I don't know how to do that, but from the user perspective that's pretty obvious and good! -a _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
