      Hey guys,
      I need your help figuring out a simple install package for a plugin on MAC.
      I have an FX plugin that contains audio files that are too large to embed, so the resources file will need to be added to an installer. Shouldn't be an issue.

      Not a problem with PC. I can install the plugins to their proper folders, as well as deposit my AudioResources.dat file to the User AppData folder. Yay!

      My dilemma is with MAC. Using Packages, I can create a Distribution package that can install the AudioResources.dat file to the ~/Library, but if I add my plugin raw packages to this Distribution package, all of the files get installed to the ~/Library folder.
      I could just create 2 installers... one for the ~/Library and another for /Library, but I feel like there's a better way to do it.

      What have you done in the past?

        @dustbro I'm not sure I understand well but if you create a distribution project with Packages, you can add as many packages as you want with their own payload and destination... Each package within a distribution is unique and different from the others, so I don't see where you have an issue with the destination 🤔

        Can't help pressing F5 in the forum...

          @ustk A distribution package can only deliver files to EITHER ~/Library or /Library at one time. Not both :(
          From their website

          You can not install items both in the current user's home directory and outside it.

                Standing on "Packages" select "Payload", under Library you'll find the way to the plugins, right click on "Components" and chose "Add files..."
                then you will be prompted to chose the plugins you want to be embedded in you installer.

                              @Christoph-Hart Can you prevent new members - bots - from posting links until they've been here a while or made so many posts?

                                @d-healey I think Dominik had already added this - the links they post do not go outside but to their own profile page.

                                But there was quite an influx of spam last night...
