Hi, thanks for your help! I'll fix the safari problem with a script. I found the TMP folder, on a mac an easy way to find it is to look for $TMPDIR, which is a different folder than /tmp. There I found the Denemo folder with a denemoprintA.png picture correctly created. Yes, I noticed that there are no updated builds for MacOS. Do you know how difficult is to build for MacOS? Otherwise I'll give a try running the Windows version with Wine / Crossover.
