Posts: 1                I am literally weeks away from starting the daunting 
process of packaging my app up for mac app store distribution. I have a 
preferences file which at the moment I have in SpecialFolder.Preferences in a 
file called com.mycompany.myapp.plist. I also have some application support 
files which I have manually put in SpecialFolder.ApplicationData:myAppName.

When I distribute my app, it will automatically generate the preferences plist 
file on first launch if it does not exist so this is not an issue. However, I 
would like to package my application support files with my app and have them 
copied to SpecialFolder.ApplicationData:myAppName on installation. How do I 
achieve this? I intend on using RB Package Maker from the app store to do the 
packaging nitty gritty. If anyone has experience of RB Package Maker does it do 
this for me or is there some other method.

i.e. If i was not going down the app store route how would you get these files 
into SpecialFolder.ApplicationData:myAppName when the app is installed?

Thanks.

Mike
