macOS Install 160 Corel Painter Brushes: pkg files

[Mr_Indigo]

Hi, I would love to be able to automate this task, installing 160 Corel Painter brushes is no joke. They are individual pkg files. and each one requires...

• A double click to launch
• Click to Continue
• Another Continue click for the EULA
• ...and the subsequent Agree message
• Yet another Continue
• An Install click
• A password and Install Software click
• ...and finally a Close click.

Doing all of this 160 times seems like a long dark tunnel and I was hoping this could be automated somehow, if so how?

Cheers for the info, while I was waiting for a reply I also found a few apps by Whitebox called Iceberg and Packages, listed with them was Pacifist. http://s.sudre.free.fr/Packaging.html

Looks to me like Iceberg and Packages are useful when you want to make your own packages. Can you post a link to where you got/bought those brushes from?

 

[Mr_Indigo]

Some I got from Painterartist.com, others came bundled with Corel Painter versions as deals over the years. Can be tedious to install them individually but I may just select the one I most commonly use.

I hope I didn't discourage you from automating this. It can be done. Don't give up, try stuff.

No you haven't, I'm doing a fast track learning session, I like to try and do stuff myself, make a total fudge of it and then ask for more help lol! I've been meaning to learn the basics of programming and the like for a while and this has given me a problem to workaround, I'm quite enjoying it.

Unfortunately in the midst of this I've just had my vehicle written off, a lady pulled out on me, I unavoidably hit their car and and wrapped the van around a tree, luckily nobody was injured, just wounded pride, so I'm frantically sourcing another vehicle and this issue has had to take a back seat.
