nice, is this using notarytool?

Can't remember, it's been a while since I last looked at the video. But if it doesn't let me know and I'll send you my current script which does use it and handles the aax stuff too.

nice , thanks I will study it and see if I can become useful to the community....

@clevername27 secret? I think theres nothing secret about the bet build of whitebox to make it work on Sonoma

@Dan-Korneff said in WhiteBox Packages Nightmare on Sonoma:

@Lindon I had a bunch of silly permissions things recently with Packages. I had to check the "keep owner and group" box to fix it. It lists my computer as the owner and "staff" as group, which I though was strange, but it changes to the end user's account when they install.

oh ok , cool thanks mate I will try this too...

[clevername27]

@Lindon …secret in that you have to just "know about it", since it's not listed anywhere on their website.

[clevername27]

@clevername27 Oh gosh, I just saw this. I didn't mean to blow off your question. I may have noped out of HISE at that point. In any case, he's got a new version of Packages that specifically supports audio plugins (plus whatever is in HISE these days).

Who's he?

@David-Healey Seth Willits, Araelium Group

[David Healey]

@clevername27 ah ok, what's the benefit over whitebox packages?

[clevername27]

@David-Healey It works (no bugs), and thanks to your truly, it has built-in support for installing audio plugins.,

[DanH]

@clevername27 is that a new addition? I bought it when it was first released but found I couldn't do some of the things I was doing in Whitebox and haven't tried it again since

[clevername27]

@DanH Yes, it is a brand new addition.

[DanH]

@clevername27 ah cool, I'll give it another go

Can you elaborate?

Ok well I'm assuming we are talking about Package Builder here... its not clear above but heres the URL: https://www.araelium.com/packagebuilder

So my "...support for installing audio plugins" question is:

Can I point the destination at the system folder for plugins? i.e

~/Library/Audio/Plugins

and not the ~/users//Library version of this path?

..and get it to ask the user for the relevant password when they run it. In other words avoiding all those silly Mac permissions problems...

~/Library/Audio/Plugins

That's the default with WhiteBox.

Thats not my experience.....but I will admit its been a while since I used it.

In fact wasnt there a whole video demo (maybe one of your Dave?) explaining the required additional scripting to move the plugin to the system folders?

[David Healey]

@Lindon When you create a new package this checkbox will be enabled by default

And it will install to the system folders. If you want to install to the user folders you need to go the Packages menu >> Settings >> Advanced and enable Show Advanced User Options.

Then in the project settings you'll have access to the Advanced Options section and you can enable the "current user's home folder" checkbox

That's if you want to install into both the system and users folders from a single installer. A single package can only install into one of these.

Oh right I misunderstood then - but as I havent used whitebox for a couple of years(I built my own installer) it seems quite viable.....thanks.
