Use potionfactory/LetsMove to move the app bundle to /Applications
Closed this issue · 4 comments
https://github.com/potionfactory/LetsMove is a great little project most Mac apps use to detect when they're launched outside of /Applications to offer to copy/move themselves there (and automatically quit-and-relaunch).
What problem(s) did you encounter that this would fix?
Going to close this for now. It's not quite clear what problem this would solve. Are you asking for "Copy to /Applications" functionality as a button or dialog?
When I launched GHC off the downloaded DMG, it knew it wasn't in /Applications, but needed me to copy it there. LetsMove provides a way to say, "cool, copy yourself there and relaunch". It automates what the app currently asks the user to do.
The app asks you to put it anywhere but downloads. That project expects Applications folder. I'll take that into consideration as a feature request.
