Installation Package details (suspicious package quick look plugin)

Although it is quite easy to install software on MAC systems, most of them use the drag-and-drop method, instead of having to install software like windows, however, there are also a lot of software installation needs to be completed using the Mac OS X system installer software, such as system upgrades, ituens and Flash Player installation. In the software installed using the drag and drop method, we users know what is placed in the computer system, and the installer does not seem so easy to know, at least not that intuitive.

In fact, the OS x installer provides the copy file list function during the installation process. But how can I know what files will be copied and where to copy them before installation? This is a small tool. Its function is very simple and specific. It is implemented through the quick look function of Mac OS X.

System Requirements:

At least Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7, which may be used on 10.5.

Install

It is a small quick look plug-in. Follow the instructions to install it ~ /Library/quicklook. If this directory does not exist, create one.

However, the above method is only valid for the current user. To make the entire computer available, you need to copy it to the/library/quicklook directory. Of course, after copying, the user of this file needs to be changed. The following is a termina command sample.

Sudo chown-r root: admin/library/quicklook/suspicious \ package. qlgenerator

Use

It is very simple. If it is a PKG installer file, press the Space key to display the quicklook window. In quicklook, it displays the Installation File in sequence:

• Administrator Password required?
• Will prompt whether the system needs to be restarted
• How many installation scripts are included
• And the installation file path and the file tree list.

You can click the content branch of the tree list to view the content of each directory in detail.

If you have an installation script, click the triangle button in the zip code to view the content of each script.
