You're welcome.  Actually, I'm still using QLandkarte as it it permits direct loading of img files found on the Internet - the missing support for it in 'GT is a serious drawback IMHO.

Yes, OS X is a (more or less) POSIX-compliant system...

No, the problem was that the files are all named .so, whereas OS X uses .dylib for shared objects.  That's pretty easy to fix (and already done in my local playground), stay tuned.

An other question: I noticed that the screen shot from the Legend is vertically flipped (upside down).  I assume it looks correctly for other devices?  I would then add a property which flips back the image if necessary.

Best, Albrecht.
