How to make a disk image window open automatically?
Greetings,
When I mount downloaded disk images, they open in a new window automatically.
How do I make a disk image that does that?
Thanks

Try the following:
Create a read-write .dmg disk image, and mount the image so that its disk icon is on the Desktop.
Launch Terminal (in the Utilities folder), and copy-paste or type the following line into the Terminal window, followed by typing a single space. Do not press <return> yet:
bless --openfolder
After typing the single space, drag the mounted disk icon from the Desktop into the Terminal window, click inside the Terminal window, and type <return>.
In my system, using a mounted disk image named test1, the completed command line looked like:
$ bless --openfolder /Volumes/test1
To see if it worked, eject the mounted image, and then re-mount it by double-clicking the .dmg file.
