Installed app that wasn't installed in /Applications #22

Testing today for the first time via Jamf Pro and overall it works pretty well.

But when testing on my machine it found Google Chrome.app in my Autopkg folder (/Users/myuser/Library/AutoPkg/Cache/local.pkg.GoogleChrome/GoogleChrome/Applications/Google Chrome.app) and then ran installomator to install it to /Applications.

How can this be avoided? Other than stopping using autopkg. :)

Looking at adding an option to only recognize apps in default locations - i.e. not in /Users

1.1.1 changes discovery mode to only search in default app install locations /Applications /Library and /usr/local added --everywhere option to override new behavior, in case you want to search the whole system.
