When I download .dmg files for apps,
the decoded app itself goes in "Applications" at sysadmin level.
But I can't find a satisfactory place for any informative leftovers that
aren't automatically installed as the required support for the app:
- readme's, histories, and other stuff from the .dmg
- webpages, usenet articles and the like that have useful comments
to save from the build-up of deciding to go for that app.
When I want to keep the additional resources, I do an "Option-copy" of
the disk image. After you mount the disk image, there will be an icon
of the mounted volume on your Desktop. Highlight that icon, hold down
the Option key and drag the disk image icon to the Applications folder.
It will create a new folder in the Applications directory and copy all
the contents into that folder.
