[Sparkle] Asset Updates

[Tom McKenzie]

What if I have another app I want to update?  Could I use this approach?


 

FirstApp.app

               Contents
                               Resources
                                              ImageFor1.jpg
                                              ImageFor2.jpg <- gets
moved or copied to the other app

 

SecondApp.app

               Contents
                               Resources
                                              ImageFor2.jpg
 
Ideally I guess I would have Sparkle on both apps but the other one is
not written in Cocoa.  
 
I know this is hacky and probably dangerous if the other application is
running.  I also need to make sure the folder structure is consistent.

Yeah, or subclass SUInstaller, but you really really really shouldn't
store resources outside your app bundle.

Since the resources are outside of the bundle can I use the
SUUpdaterWillRestartNotification to move them to the right place?

Sparkle replaces everything inside the app bundle; just include your
whole .app in the update archive, and any resources inside will be
updated as well.

Hello All
 
Suppose I have an application with images and config files that I would
like to update.
 
For example:
MyApp.app
/Applications/MyApp/Images/Foo.png
/Applications/MyApp/Config/Config.xml
 
When I build my update dmg or zip I'm assuming I would include these
files and they would replace the files relative to the where the
application is running?
 
So the the dmg or zip would have
MyApp.app
/Images/Foo.png
/Config/Config.xml
 
Ideally these would be in the Resouces folder of an app bundle but
unfortunately this is a legacy app which expects certain paths.
 
Thanks,
Tom
