Now that this thread goes more and more offtopic I'll add something I've been struggling with for a while: is there a way to programmatically set the background image in the resulting DMG? What I'm doing now is create an R/W DMG containing all the files plus the background image in a hidden folder, then mount that and ask the user (i.e. me:-) to set the folder background image and position the icons, then press return. Then the script continues, unmounting the image and converting to an RO compressed DMG. I can't seem to find a way to set the folder background image through a shell command or applescript or anything... -- Jack Jansen, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
