There is no "show package contents" option when I right click. This screenshot was on a folder. Same with .dmg etc.
Help?
I do have "Secrets" downloaded (extra preferances thing). Maybe there is something there I hit or turn off?

I think you are confusing what options apply to different file types.
A .dmg is a disk image - you access it by double clicking it and it mounts on your desktop.
Within the .dmg you'll see a .mpkg or a .pkg - the icons look like a 3D box. This can be right clicked (control clicked) and you will see the option to Show Package Contents. (Archive.bom, Archive.pax.gz, Info.plist, PkgInfo, Resources)
Double clicking the .mpkg or .pkg invokes the Installer and installs the resources within the package on to your machine.
Hope this clarifies things.

A folder is not a Package. You can show a folder's contents by double clicking on it. Only a Package will present the "Show Package Contents" dialogue.

ds why does he need Pacifist?
What does it show when you right click? "Show Package Contents" are for applications.
I can't Show Package Contents for .dmg files? In the link for my OP that's the screenshot of what it shows.
"I can't Show Package Contents for .dmg files?"
No.
Thank you very much.
Yes, I was confused on what was what and what could be done. Thanks for the clarification.
