Comment (by michel):
Replying to [comment:4 vidrep]:
I installed BeatWare BeBasics, then overwrote them with the patched
files that Diver attached.
Write now works, but there are a couple of issues. First, is that Write
wants to store its configuration files to /home/config/add-ons (attached
screenshot1), which is a read only directory. Second, which is minor, is
that symlinks must be manually pointed to the Deskbar applications list.
Could a .hpkg be created from the patched files, with correct
directories and symlinks?
Sure. I've handled a few cases like that. You move the config file to a
more reasonable place, like ~/config/settings, then create a symlink from
that to where the app wants the file to be. Finally you create a post-
install script to create 0-byte files in the appropriate places on
installation (use touch, that way the config does not get messed up on a
reinstall). this creates a wormhole :-) through the write-only directories
to your config file. Yes, it's a kludge. But it does work. Contact me off-
list (clasqm@xxxxxxxx) if you get stuck.
