jamfHelper support
Dialog now has the ability to accept a basic subset jamfHelper format command line options with the new --jh flag.
This makes it easier to implement into existing workflows and scripts by substituting the call to /Library/Application\ Support/JAMF/bin/jamfHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/jamfHelper with /usr/local/bin/dialog --jh
Using the flag will instruct dialog to convert jamfHelper options into equivalent dialog options. Not all options are supported. Standard dialog options that have no equivalent in jamfHelper are still available, e.g. --width, --height and --image.
hud and utility are ignored. fs is converted into dialog --fullscreen and will display in dialogs full screen view
Positions window in the upper right, upper left, lower right or lower left of the user's screen This is the only feature that is not currently part of dialogs standard options but is implemented for jamfHelper compatibility.
Converted to --title
Sets the window's title to the specified string
Converted to --message
Both -heading and -description are merged into dialogs --message option. -heading is converted into a markdown heading 4 #### then a blank newline followed by -description
Converted to --icon
If not present, forces dialogs --hideicon option to match jamfHelpers behaviour of displaying with no idon if one is not specified
Converted to --button1text
Changed behaviour: Dialog always shows the default button which is different to how jamfHelper works. The default button text is OK
Converted to --button2text
Converted to --alignment
The only options implemented are right centre and left
Converted to --timer.
-countdown is always implied as dialog always shows the timer bar
timeout with no timer bar is not implemented in dialog.
Default button is always button 1
Cancel button is always button 2 (if displayed)
