<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi, the discussion that has been going on about installing csv2latex has got me thinking about creating an installer package for it. For the ruby script itself, this is trivial, and will make the part of the installation that is hardest for non-Terminal users easy.<div><br></div><div>I'm wondering, however, if there would be a way to have the installer actually add the TeXShop macro code itself into the relevant user .plist file.</div><div><br></div><div>So a couple of questions: first, is this a good or bad idea? (The current installation instructions tell people to cut and paste the Applescript into the TeXShop macro editor, which certainly works.)</div><div><br></div><div>Second, is is possible to add plist items via a script? I tried adding a postflight shell script that simply added a new element to the file ~/Library/TeXShop/Latex_Macros.plist but it didn't seem to work (i.e. the file wasn't even modified at all.)</div><div><br></div><div>Can someone with more experience with writing intstaller packages give me some advice here?</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, would it be useful to add the csv2latex scripts to the TeXShop distribution itself. Do I just contact Dick and suggest it?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks </div><div><br></div><div>Alan</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Lucida Grande'"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><br></font></font></div></div></span></div></div></div></body></html>
