I feel like we miss an underlying concept when what opens where, and how this is represented in the Gui/Menus. I agree and have raised some of these issues on the developer's list. But as I'm not a programmer myself, I'm not going to complain too much: things are improving and I appreciate especially Abdel's attentiveness to my complaints thus far. (Thanks Abdel!) Well, I have not been very attentive lately... too busy for any deep investigation. I had hoped that some other Mac developer would take the lead but it didn't happen unfortunately. I think we'll have access to some Mac machines at the Berlin meeting so I'll make sure that all Mac issues are fixed then. Is that magical appearance of Macs something I am supposed to put on my ToDo list? That would be nice indeed. Sorry I took for granted that 'Qt Software' has some Macs lying around... Abdel.
