Hi Edward, there are Mac Apps which ask the user for PATH variables, e.g. the text editor TextMate: http://markushanses.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/advanced.png
There is already a file with all the $PATHs in the users home directory: it's ~/.bash_profile, the profile of the standard Shell in Mac OS X. Maybe this makes a good default value. Apart from that, these MacOS *.app bundles can be opened by $ open -a <Application Name> Maybe this is some inspiration ;) Cheers Martin On 24.05.2012, at 10:17, Edward d'Auvergne wrote: > Hi, > > I've been thinking about a solution for this problem, but it's not > easy.
