I would vote for 2 or 3. One question is whether ~/Library/Application\ Support/ is visible in the Finder or would the magic move/copy/link be done by drag and drop icons on the dmg background?

I'll try to clarify the options that I see. 1) Store the libraries *inside* the bundle, in kicad.app. Users should never change these, because if they do, the changes would be lost when you update KiCad. 2) Have the libraries be included in the DMG, but users would have to drag Kicad into Applications and Libraries into ~/LibraryApplication\ Support/whever/it/is/supposed/to/be, but we would have two symlinks, and a background image on the DMG to make it obvious what to do. 3) Have two DMGs, one with just Kicad, one with just Libraries. This would be almost the same as #2. Thoughts, folks? I am personally leaning towards 2. One thing to download, but nothing stored inside kicad.app except for the KiCad executables...

Very frustrating indeed. Why an application would store what is essentially user data in an opaque bundle is beyond me (see iPhoto, for example) ... -a _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers <https://launchpad.net/%7Ekicad-developers> Post to : [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers <https://launchpad.net/%7Ekicad-developers> More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
