From: Patrick Carr Date: 20:50 on 01 Jun 2006 Subject: mac disk image images Dear (Almost) Every Mac Developer, Apple has anticipated that people would use the Applications folder pretty frequently, so by default it's right in the left side bar of every finder window. Convenient, no? Especially when downloading the newest version of App.App: It's right there for the dragging, from disk image to Applications folder all in one handy finder window. So why do you insist on customizing the disk image window so it has a picture of you, your kids, or some fucking cutesy-ass bunnies and taking off the side bars? Oh, right, the same reason you spend all your time making App.App skinnable and ignoring the memory leaks. Yours in hate, Pat P.S. Including a soft link to /Applications/ in the disk image is less hateful but not optimal.

Since you unzip all the files BEFORE checking for existing files of the same name, your question is less, "Do you want to replace these files?" and more: "I've already spent a few minutes unzipping these several-gig files, do you want to replace what's already there? Because it's okay if you do. I mean, it's no big deal. If you don't want them, I can just throw them away. You could rename them if you want; do you want to do that? Then all this CPU time and memory won't have been wasted. No? They're duplicates? Well, fine. But maybe you should look more closely next time before I go through all this trouble. No, no, sorry, it's fine. Don't worry about me." Not to mention the explanationless "Run-Time Error" every time I try to quit you. I'd say we should start seeing other windows unzip utilities, but I'm afraid you would start stalking me. Pat Carr
