RouteConverter and Mac OS X

[CalvinFold]

RouteConverter is not doing something the Mac OS expects in order to correctly launch the right Java (perhaps not "identifying itself" in some way?).

I'd be happy to fix this if you point me to instructions how to achieve that.

If I had the slightest idea how, I would. But my last post is pretty much the limit of what I know about Java.

I could provide you with .app files that might work better than .jar files. Would you be willing to test them?

Sure, wouldn't hurt.

Worse, the "forcing Java V6 to the top" that we're playing with here is not "typical user" stuff. Most people do not even realize Java Preferences exists.

And I guess most Mac users step back from RouteConverter if it is not working out of the box (let's don't think about the damn map problems...).

If they are casual users, that's quite likely. What I can't say is how "determined" the GPS community is. If they are more hobbiest-inclined, maybe they know to dig deeper already.

Of course, if 99% of users are PC-based, then Mac users might be a rare occurance to begin with.

I only posted what I know for any Mac users who get stuck and go looking in these forums. I was a bit more determined—yours was the only software I found that had a chance of working on the Mac. That was worth some time trying to figure things out.
