[Composer] installing to ~/Library

[Ernst, Craig S.]

Hi Noah,

I'm not really sure why it wouldn't be grabbing any files from a user home directory. The only things I can think of are:


 1.  Are you certain that files are being installed into a user home directory?
 2.  If it's actually only modifying an existing file in that directory are you making sure to select 'New and Modified Files' from the options within Composer?

Lastly, if you know the file you are looking for you can create a package of it manually


 *   Create a folder in the same directory you are running composer from called Temp.
 *   Create a folder in the Temp directory, this folder should be the name of the package you want to create
 *   Create your folder structure in this like Users/<username>/Library/Preferences, where username can be anything, but it's usually easier to be consistent with this name in all of your packages that require user files
 *   Drop the file you want in your preferences folder
 *   Open Composer and go to the Pre-Built tab and check the box for your package and save it

I'm not really sure how the licensing works for the individual products, but I assume you should be able to do this still.

If you know for sure the file(s) are being added or being modified and option 2 doesn't work...I think it would be worth a call to support...of course...they are reading this, too. =)

Hope that helps.

I'm new to Composer and I'm very impressed so far. But I cannot seem to figure out how to get the snapshot to see files that were installed into ~/Library/Preferences.

How is this done? I'm sure I'm missing something.
