You might want to consider changing this design. Maybe copy the database to ~/Library/Application Data/GMX-PhotoPainter before altering it. You've got two potential problems lurking here: - This requires regular users to have write access to /Applications if you're installed there (on a properly secured system, they will not)1 - This should break application signatures
That second one probably won't cause immediate problems for a paint program. Symptoms would include users constantly needing to reauthorize your auto-update functionality, network access, etc. But the trend seems to be toward signatures being more important and pervasive. Probably best not to modify your .app bundle as a matter of course. Best of luck, Geoff On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 08:59, enieloud <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > >> +1 for the disk image message.
