yep, the problem was a change on the DEV300 code line we merged for 3.4.x, that made additional changes necessary for the underlying .DS_Store file. Further complicating things are apparently incompatible changes Apple did to that undocumented binary format, i.e. .DS_Store files generated on newer OSX versions may not display correctly on older versions. So I re-did the changes locally, and uploaded a modified .dmg here - http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/Mac_OSX_10.6.0_gcc-4.0.1_x86/LibO_3.4.4rc1_MacOS_x86_install_en-US-modded.dmg I would _expect_ it to not display correctly on 10.5/10.4. According to several random pages on the interwebs, we need someone with a 10.4/10.5 to re-do the following steps (cf. people in Cc): --%<---------------------------------------------------------------- * make r/w copy of .dmg: hdiutil convert LibO-3.4.4...dmg -format UDRW -o rw.dmg * find out current size: hdiutil resize -limits rw.dmg * resize with ~random extra sectors: hdiutil resize -sectors <sectors> rw.dmg * mount it: hdiutil attach rw.dmg * note that /Volumes/LibreOffice/.DS_Store is read-only, change it to rw via chmod in the terminal * tweak settings to heart's content: open View->View options in Finder for the LibO .dmg window double-click on the background image, in the then-opening file selector, select the LibreOffice volume - notice you don't see the hidden .background dir - - press Command-Shift-g do be able to select hidden dirs, manually enter ".background" - in the subdir, select the "background.png" - close setting dialog, close LibreOffice .dmg window * unmount: hdiutil detach rw.dmg * double-click on .dmg in Finder, it should now show the correct background image * copy out final .DS_Store / upload .dmg somewhere for us to dissect --%<---------------------------------------------------------------- Cheers, -- Thorsten
