[External] : Re: jpackage requests permission via a dialog

[Michael Hall]

Hello Alexander,

I had forgotten or didn’t know that. I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere in this list thread previously. But there is generally no reason to delete this file. Unless you don’t want it included in a zip or a GitHub project. The icon placement for multiple files with jpackage —mac-dmg-content is determined by the AppleScript. You might remember I had a related bug report. I provided a workaround with slight changes to the code invoking the AppleScript and the AppleScript. You came up with your own fix. I was impressed you did it by just changing the AppleScript but I slightly preferred the placement of my change. Again, if I remember right. 

Mike

If it gets deleted from DMG, DMG will look like osascript was never run. So, Alan is right with “the configuration of the DMG appearance actually means configuring the .DS_Store file in the DMG”.
