    A program that opens Finder and clicks and drags applications around? That seems infeasible... I think all we can really do is try to detect it and give instructions on how to work around that.


    It remains to be seen if I can do even that, however. I have to figure out where to get a CFURLRef. If I can't do that, I may just have to fall back on checking if the data files exist.

    A shell script, or AppleScript programme could probably do it. I haven't used AppleScript for ages, so IDK what has changed; or does copy not work; and they specifically need to be moved?

    AppleScript should be able to do file moves though. Installer packages can place files in specific locations. All of these would require a password entry from the user, unless they're silly and have permissions off.

    The script would need to read the user ID, and set up a relative source, then copy 'files' to ./Users/%usernsme%/dest

    This used to be a very simple, and common thing to do with AppleScript, too.

    P.S. Happy Birthday, IIRC.
