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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">.DS_Store file contains information about icon position and other visual information on how to display folder. Once osascript configures DMG, Finder will store these setting in .DS_Store file. 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 DMGâ€.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
