Re: [MACTCL] Creating a .app from source

[Damon C. <da...@tc...>]

Just more information. Even the base Wish.app defines .tcl as an extension it accepts, and I can’t drop a .tcl file onto it. I also went back and built 8.5.18 and tried, and it’s not working there either.

This is all on Yosemite, by the way.

If I right-click the file, I can Open it with my app (it shows up in the list registered for the .epub file extension). But I still can’t just drop a file on the running app.
