Omnis Mac – Packages – Create Alias
So I am basing this on your example.
I have… I am not sure what the Brainy PDFDevice section is doing… However, I do use PDFDevice.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# This script is run after your app is installed.
# Set the path to your application
APPLICATION_ROOT=”/Applications/ClienTrax/OmnisRT.app”
# Setup permissions
sudo chmod -R a+rw “${APPLICATION_ROOT}/Contents/MacOS/startup”
sudo chmod -R a+rw “${APPLICATION_ROOT}/Contents/MacOS/icons”
sudo chmod -R a+rw “${APPLICATION_ROOT}/Contents/MacOS/local”
sudo chmod -R a+rw “${APPLICATION_ROOT}/Contents/MacOS/studio”
# For Brainy Data’s PDFDevice
sudo chmod a+rw ../MacOS
# Create Alias for ClienTrax.lbs
ln -s /Applications/ClienTrax/ClienTrax.lbs ~/Desktop/Open ClienTrax
# Start Studio for Serialization
“/Applications/ClienTrax/OmnisRT.app/Contents/MacOS/Omnis” “/Applications/ClienTrax/ClienTrax.lbs”

Hi Michael,
Are you trying to open your library with Omnis? I normally would do it this way:
“/Applications/ClienTrax/OmnisRT.app/Contents/MacOS/Omnis” “/Applications/ClienTrax/ClienTrax.lbs”
This open the Omnis executable inside your bundle. But open -a might work as well. I use the open command to mimic double-clicking a file in the Finder. It’s super-handy when you can’t recall the flag to decompress an archive file or if you want to crack open a Finder GUI to deal with a folder.
