This is probably true for the same sheeple who swear by Lightroom and Photoshop. However, for enlightened Mac users of dt and say, GIMP, I don’t think that it’s an issue. As has been shown, they accept the unsigned DMGs because they understand that darktable isn’t a commercial product. If the members of the former group complain, so be it. They can complain along with those who lament that GIMP isn’t a functional replica of PS. Meanwhile, the rest of us can continue to benefit from the use of these great programs. I’d hate for the devs to halt packaging for MAC just because having to sign the packages gets in the way. ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
