I guess yes. Either always warn it doesn’t do anything with a dmg or ignore it silently and let them use it if it makes them happy.
But I still myself don’t see what any directory has to do with a dmg. You don’t install the dmg or the app anywhere? You just put the app into the dmg.
Or I am still somehow misunderstanding.
