[Tuxpaint-devel] Problems with Mac OS X - Any other Mac developers out here?

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

Here's a thread from the Tux Paint page over on Facebook:

Jess:
  I love Tux Paint! However...I installed it on my MAC and it worked a
  few times but now, does not. Any ideas? I think when I installed the
  stamps it stopped working :-(

Me:
  Hi Jess, sorry to hear it! Can you try out the suggestions over here,
  and let us know if they help?
  http://www.tuxpaint.org/docs/known_issues/ Thanks & good luck!!!

Jess:
  I did try those. Wondering...Can I uninstall these two items, then
  reinstall Tux paint (and not the stamps)? It doesn't help that I'm
  completely new to the Mac world!

Me:
  Yes, on Mac Tux Paint is basically an app that you can drag to your
  trash can. If you installed the stamps _within_ the Tux Paint icon, it
  should go away with them. If not, then I'll have to check what your
  next step is (I don't have a Mac!). Good luck!

Jess:
  Thanks, I'll keep you posted! Thanks also for creating such an amazing
  program. We love it!

Jess, later:
  Hmmm.....so far, still no luck. It worked when I first installed but
  now, nothing.

Me:
  Sorry to hear it, Jess! :( I'll share your comments with our developer
  mailing list to see if anyone else can help. Our main Mac volunteer
  seems to be very busy these days, so hopefully I can round up someone
  else to help. Thanks for your patience!


The Mac I have on hand was donated to me by Ryan C. Gordon ("icculus")
a few years back.  It's PowerPC, runs OS X 10.1 or something, and I don't
have it set up.  I was going to donate it to a good cause, when I got the time.

It seems like Martin Fuhrer, who has been maintaining the OS X port of
Tux Paint, is busy lately.  So I'm wondering if there are any other OS X
developers hiding out in the woodworks who'd be willing to step forward and
lend a hand?

There are a few "doesn't work on Mac" issues over on SourceForge that remain
open:
