I agree with Michael on this as well. I did not find any major issues with wxGUI on Mac ( I use it on mac every day, both 6.4.1 and 7) and Martin just added zooming into drawn rectangle for setting up region interactively - something that I still had to do using d.mon. There is always space for improvement but I find it very stable and functional on Mac. But I am using only a small subset of GRASS functionality, so Massimo if you have troubles with wxGUI, please report.
More serious issue with Mac is getting GRASS with wxGUI running on Lion, I just got first student with new Mac running Lion and she is using MSWindows on Mac to run GRASS. If anybody has any advice on running GRASS on Lion please let me know, Helena On Aug 31, 2011, at 12:37 PM, Michael Barton wrote: > > On Aug 31, 2011, at 12:59 PM, [email protected] wrote: > >> Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 11:20:17 +0200 >> From: Massimo Di Stefano <[email protected]> >> Subject: Re: [GRASS-dev] Re: where to store GRASS settings: GISRC and >> wx settings >> To: Margherita Di Leo <[email protected]> >> Cc: [email protected] >> Message-ID: <[email protected]> >> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >> >> that's an other one ... >> >> i'm using 6.5 for my daily job with really good satisfaction. >> >> 6.4 is out of date if compared with 6.5 and 7.0 is too much unstable >> beacouse of the gui (wx on osx is a pain) >> >> --Massimo. >> > > AFAICT, most of the bugs in 6.4.1 have been corrected in 6.4.2, and 6.4.2 > also benefits from a number of updates/enhancements to the code.
