I cant even copy and paste scripts because it wants access to the scripts folder First

made a.zip file of the SCRIPTS folder but it wants to access that from the apps HOME dir which WAS NOT installed...

will not acknowledge mac filesystem or use finder for scripting system but DOES use it for saving images and flame files...
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

it would be advisable for you to USE A MAC to develop this software.
Xcode uses FRAMEWORKS so you dont have to program GUI tools yourself thus avoiding ALL these issues..
you just drag and drop Gui tools easy peasy leaving you to only program the MATH portions of code.
All filesystem dialogues are handled by the OS... literally nothing to program....

Macos is a UNIX kernel...
the OS is Socketed just plug your GUI calls directly into the OS.

everyone loves this software.
I want to see it flourish
good luck

Holy crap I got itto WORK!!!
I found the com.overwhale.Jwildfire folder (which does not exist)
its just Jwildfire/data
I copied my scripts folder into here and set the dir in the preferences.
it STILL gave me a warning and NO DIALOGue.

But it worked anyway now my scripts show up in the app.

a little wonky but we'll take it.

you might want to mention this in the MANUAL

thanks

As far as I know so far all other buttons and controls work fine.
scripting works fine... even after copying gradients into the scripts folder.

great app
thanks

Hi, thanks for your feedback!

I know, the folder handling suck a bit on MacOS. This is due to sandbox restrictions which where introduced at some version (I can't exactly remember when).
In fact, I'm developing it on MacOS, but it is a platform-independant app, so I can not use Xcode.
It uses Java, and I had to create some weird stuff, to access folders outside the sandbox.
Of course, I'm not develeping the GUI tools by myself. These dialogs look so crappy per default :-)

Besides this folder stuff, everything should work the same way as on other platforms.

But, really, it (Java on MacOS outside the sandbox) really sucks. I'm currently working on a successor, which will not use Java at all.
