Introducing Polish: A new framework
A month ago, Paul Kim over at Noodlesoft made a post about a proposal for a new way to install. In it, he described how it might be advantageous to display a dialog to the user asking them if they’d like to install the application if it were running from a disk image (or some other unwritable media).
As it so happens, I had already intended to write some code that checked that very thing, to fix a problem with Picture Switcher. I hesitate to call it a bug — it’s more like an unintended side effect. The problem was that in my last version, I decided to add in a dialog asking the user if they would like PS to run when they logged in. All fairly standard. What I hadn’t taken into account (and this would be a bug), was users running PS from the disk image. I should have put in a check for that. The unintended side effect is that, after having said yes to that dialog, every time they logged in the disk image would be mounted and run PS from there. I hadn’t even known the login items would do such a thing. Suffice to say, I’ve gotten some support emails about this issue.
