Hi Andrzej,

Thanks for the tip. It just seemed to me that since the package installed as a typical Mac OS X clickable program, then it was meant to run that way. Thanks also for info about adxv. I wasn't aware that there was a Mac executable for this program.

Kay, the image I was trying to read was a .mar2560 file frpm the mar555 flat panel detector, which I had previously processed using XDS.

Cheers
Derek

Hi,

 Once you have a 2cbf in /usr/local/bin and start XDS Viewer from a
terminal (/Applications/XDS-Viewer.app/Contents/MacOS/XDS-Viewer) it
seems to work fine.

 However for the diffraction image viewing I would suggest adxv. You
can find it at: http://www.scripps.edu/~arvai/adxv.html.

Hi,

I very recently downloaded and installed the Mac OS X executable of the new XDS Viewer program to inspect diffraction images. I have moved the program to /Applications. It starts up fine, but when I try to load an
image it complains:

"Cannot open file! For image formats other than ".cbf" you need to
install the "2cbf" script. Please make sure you have added it to the
executable path."

Now 2cbf is in /usr/local/bin, which is in my path. I use /bin/tcsh as shell. Is there some confusion between the shell used by XDS Viewer (if any) and my preferred shell? Looking in the XDS Viewer.app directory I
can't find any obvious clues.

Thanks
Derek
