Set flag in HFS+ volume header instead
Authored by: daniel_steffen on Nov 20, '02 08:56:51AM
The right way to do this is to set a flag in the finder info of the HFS+ volume header, as explained in the following post & sample code by an Apple filesystem engineer on the macosx dev list:

Making mounted DMGs pop up

The sample code compiles trivially using the commandline included in the header comment and works very well for me.

Agreed - this is the way to achieve the desired effect.

For my money, the best way to ensure this works as needed, is to utilize the wonderfully-simple "AutoOpen" http://autoopen.nibfile.com/
