When I launch the (OSX) Dreamcard Player by double-clicking the app

with "Preparing..." and "Checking license..." and a big right-facing
arrow. The arrow isn't clickable; nothing is; and the menu offers
nothing useful except Quit.
Clearly *not* what I want to instruct my Dreamcard-stack users to do.
But if the app is there (if they've downloaded both my stack and the
Player), some will do it anyway.
Agreed, it doesn't provide much guidance.
What do you feel would make for a better user experience?
For example, should it present a file selection dialog, or have some
sort of Home stack, or....?
Well, I think a customizeable Home stack for DreamCard developers would
be helpful...maybe the thing that would bring me back into Rev.
Something with a simpler interface to use when developing a project.
You can _very_ easily (hard to imagine anything easier) have a sorted
and/or categorized list field of stacks, helpful prescripted objects,
etc.
As a teaching tool, that's the way I'd want it.
But, and maybe I don't understand something here: From a stack-user
standpoint, shouldn't the stack be installed to where double-clicking
on it invisibly launches DreamCard Player which then opens the stack?
IOW, the stack end-user need not see the player at all, right? Or am I
missing something?
All the best,
Ken N.
