ermm.. which Mac users are you talking about, the ones buying Mac
apps, or the ones who have moved to OSX from Unix and still want to
run the Unix apps they expect to be able to run, smoothly, just
like the good ol' (irix) days?
I've not read the thread, but I don't understand why you don't like
the normal arg wrapper solution. I moved to OSX from Unix, and as a
matter of fact, so have all my friends who run OSX. I don't know
anyone who used a Mac before OSX.
Me and all my friends keep a Terminal.app open _all_ the time. And
we're used to using GUI Apps with argv/arc _all_ the time. Look at
Tcl/Tk. They have Wish.app that you can double-click on and it brings
up a console where you can type commands. They also have /usr/bin/
wish which is a shell script that calls /Applications/Wish.app/
Contents/MacOS/Wish. Look at TextMate, it's a Cocoa editor that also
provides a binary in /usr/bin/tm that lets you call it from the
command line.
On the one hand, you're saying your users need to be able to do
everything from the Finder, on the other hand, you're saying they
would be confortable editing Info.plists files... and you don't want
to code anything OSX specific? Seriously, I don't see a solution for
this... something's got to give.
