Would it be impertinent to suggest that Scribus-Aqua be made available as one of the following: a) a single application bundle with all frameworks packaged therein, which can be installed in the manner Mac users expect, i.e. via drag-and-drop; or b) a pkg installer that puts the main Scribus.app in /Applications and the relevant frameworks in /Library/Frameworks? The current method requires end users to do far too much fiddling with installing the frameworks, and can be very error-prone (i.e. the Scribus bundle doesn't see Ghostscript). I understand the rationale for *not* doing this, i.e. the development cycle for Scribus is going to be faster than the updates for the frameworks themselves, and it's easier for the developers to simply re-wrap the application bundle and leave the frameworks untouched. However, it seems to me that Scribus-Aqua is entering into more widespread use than it was last spring/summer, when the first bleeding-edge alpha Aqua builds were available. Doing the package installer isn't much more work than recompiling the main bundle itself. Even Windows users now have an easy installer to use! - -- Kevin Walzer iReveal: File Search Tool http://www.wordtech-software.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD/bdTJmdQs+6YVcoRApMmAJ9ij5pPhEmFobeUYjueEEUlrQ/ZPwCeMO97 MKW4R0t4Mv0S0qK5iGeZFyM= =lAIk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
