Omnis Mac – Packages – Create Alias
Hi Alex,
Seems to be 40 ways to open a file with BASH.
Does this seem right?
open -a “/Applications/ClienTrax/OmnisRT.app” “/Applications/ClienTrax/ClienTrax.lbs”

Hi Michael,
You create the script in any text editor, then drag it into packages. You might need to set the execute permission on the script, but I think Packages cand o that for you.
You can see an example on my sample Packages project for Omnis apps:
github.com/barkingfoodog/omnis-pkg <github.com/barkingfoodog/omnis-pkg>
And my apologies—it’s postinstall, not postflight. Must be Friday!
