Smart Widget Installer 1.1 beta with Tiger compatibility

Posted August 13th, 2008 by Mike Piontek. Mac OS X

A lot of Tiger users have had problems with my Smart Widget Installer. I’ve become much more comfortable writing apps in Cocoa over the past several weeks so I decided it was time I gave this one an overhaul. Previously it was written entirely in AppleScript, which can be somewhat unreliable. Here’s what’s new:

  • Completely rewritten in Cocoa instead of AppleScript for better performance and reliability
  • Improved compatibility with Tiger (10.4.10 or later)
  • The widget’s icon is now displayed in the installation dialog box
  • In addition to dropping a widget on the application icon, you can now choose “Install…” from the File menu
  • After a smart upgrade, a brief “Installation complete” message is now displayed
  • Select All and Copy are now available, which should make it easier to report errors, if necessary!

Download Smart Widget Installer 1.1 beta 1.
Universal, requires Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later.
