Hi Shaun,
I think that would be a good idea as long as there are the X11 and
the aqua version having the same filename. Maybe the text could be
sth. like "To avoid performance issues, please drag the application
out of the disk image to any folder on your hard disk and run the
application from there". I think then it's absolutely clear.
Best
Helge

Hi Helge,
We could add some text to the background of the disk image that says:
"Please copy the application to any folder on your hard disk"
However there are internationalisation issues. I know some other
software does this.
In some folders such as the Shared or Applications folder there is
a file .localized, that has a size (according to the terminal) of
zero bytes.

As said, I'm not talking about opportunities to start OO out of
any folder on the disk. I refer to the typical behaviour of a user
who can't drag the .app file to the applications folder without
overwriting an already existing one. The typical user (what I
believe a typical user is) won't drag the file to another folder
but start it directly out of the disk image file and think OO aqua
is slow and won't think: It's slow because I started it out of the
disk image. Do you get what I try to point out?
Best regards
Helge

Thank you for your reply Eric! I saw that you modified the user
directory but I also meant the application file name. This was
actually the reason why I didn't drag the file into the
application
folder as it would overwrite the X11 2.3 application file. So
maybe
you can rename the .app file as well to e.g. OpenOffice.org 2.3
aqua.app
No please.
You can create subdirectory named e.g. AQUA in your Applications
directory and drag the icon there.
...or in any other directory you like. There is no special reason
to use
Applications dir (except that every user can access it).
