i'm no shell script expert by i couldn't get this to work properly....

i wanted the download directory to be "/Volumes/Scratch/Downloads/Chimera/" and I wanted the target directory to be "/Applications (OS X)/Internet/Browsers/"... I tried to change the relevant strings. I put quotes around all the path strings (replaced "/Applications/" with my target path string.)

but what I got was:

1. chimera .dmg downloaded to ~ directory

2. a "Contents" folder in the target directory with no application but all the resources.

I put quotes around all the path strings (replaced "/Applications/" with my target path string.)

Maybe someone can re-rewite this with a variable target path? and explain why the download would wind up in my home directory rather than the specified download directory?

thanks

in the line that copys the new Chimera to your application folder, just add "Navigator.app" to the path of your application directory, and it will work, no matter what folder you want your app to be copied to.

Use
/usr/bin/ditto "/Volumes/Chimera/Navigator.app" "/your/path/Navigator.app"

instead of
/usr/bin/ditto "/Volumes/Chimera/Navigator.app" "/Applications/"

ok got it finally that worked. thanks.
