Re: KDE -- you are the best!
by Corbin on Monday 16/Oct/2006, @07:13
A single image file (the klik image) is generally far easier to move around than a directory with bunches of files in it. With klik you would only have to move a single file around, but with a .app folder there isn't a practical way to distribute it over http or other file transfer protocols without putting it into an image file (say a .dmg). Since the mounting/unmounting of klik images is done automagically by the klik association it really is totally transparent to the user, though hopefully in the future FUSE will remove the need to even edit the fstab file.
