Any news on the OSX version?

[Jonathan_NL]

Now I know that (again)... do you mean today, next week or [fill in some monday]? http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::'>

I got myself a copy of bridge construction set and I am having difficulty keeping myself away from it http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I have a few suggestions on how the Mac UI could be improved in the game:
 - support for command-z for undo
 - support for command-q for quit
 - possibily moving the setup application to the preferences option of the application?
 - make the BCS application menu operational
 - when hitting escape it take me back to the previous screen. I sometimes find myself hitting it be accident and having to restart my bridge again when I go back into the editing view
 
Just my 5c worth

Well, I'll always be here for when you need beta testers for the OS X version http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>  http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::'>

Fill in some Monday next year http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>, no actually I just need to package it up, I will do that tonight http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Jonathan_NL]

They are working on a new patch, which probably has some of that implemented (like 'setup' in settings, taken from Gish). Other things may be hard to do with SDL (like app menu, I think).

We are just fixing a couple of little things and packaging up BCS for testing on OSX, it should be ready on Monday.

Hi,

I have already asked about all of those features (except the cmd-z) so they are aware.
I also had a major problem with the escape key too. Don't know why but even after I knew it took me back, I still hit it almost every time I wanted to cancel a cable.
Command click does that, and I know it does but my hand just does the escape before I have thought about it http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Command - click, which is used to end ropes and delete bridge sections

Like this? http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

if(creatingabeam) cancel();
else if(x) x(); // for every other substitute, if any
else exit();

I found that if you create a beam while holding shift down, the next beam will be created from the same point. Is this new, or did I never notice it? http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

I would tend not to call exit() in the middle of a program when someone presses the escape key myself!
Escape means different things to different people, but very rarely quit!

[Jonathan_NL]

I mean like "Exit" in the top left corner. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::'>

Hi,

Any news on when the OSX version will be coming out?

Figured I hadn't asked for a few months and didn't want you to forget!
I have two new macs that really need to try it http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
