AquaLess attempts to install aless(1) into /usr/bin. This is poor behavior. I do not allow it to. I have placed aless in my own ~/bin. (I suggest that the default be to place aless into /usr/local/bin, as is the custom *everywhere*.)

On *every launch* AquaLess asks me to install aless into /usr/bin. AquaLess should ask me *once* to install the aless command into */usr/local/bin*. After this one time, it should not bother me (since I choose not to place aless in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin). SubEthaEdit is an example of an application that gets the GUI correct. The see(1) tool is prompted for installation at first launch, and can later be installed from the preferences window.

Thanks,
JP
