What's New?

This updated release of App Packager contains the following new or changed features:

  1. App Package now sports a new window style as a droplet, instead of the previous log window format. This is one of the standard window formats that Platypus can create. I felt this was a better UI for what the application does.
  2. A log file is now created keeping track of all packages that have been created with the application. The log file is created and located in ~/Library/Logs/AppPackager.log
  3. The application now remains running after each use, until you quit it. This allows you to keep it open and just drag apps or disk images into its window for processing as needed.
  4. The app can now take multiple items dropped into the window. It can be any mix of applications (.app bundles) or disk images (.dmg). The program will take each item and convert the application or the app contained within the disk image to create an installer package. You are notified of each package installer that is created as it processes them.
  5. The organization string for the bundle identifier can now be stored in a plist and re-used each time the app creates a package. On the first run, after entering an organization string, you will be asked if you want to save the organization name for future use. Once you click Save, you won't be prompted on future runs for an organization name. If you would like to reset this to be asked for a name again, you can remove the com.mm2270.apppackager.plist file in your home directories Preferences folder. Or, you can change the setting with a simple defaults command. Fixes #1

What else has changed?

  1. The application no longer prompts for an app or disk image selection when being opened as it did in the previous releases.
  2. App Packager no longer prompts for a selection of which app to create a package for if a disk image dropped to it contains multiple valid items. This feature will likely make it back into the app in a future point update.
