When launching an application which requires a newer version of the

I was just wondering if there was any way to control what appeared

Please file bug reports if you're not happy with the current behavior!

Eric, please do file. But be ready to wait years. I filed this exact request in 2004.

Ya, my oldest bug report is from around that time as well - 21- Oct-2004 10:17 AM


A documentation bug that still hasn't been fixed - rdar://problem/ 3848015

<rdar://problem/3807111>.

Oh, is this the correct url for rdar? I think it used to be:

rdar://xxxxxxx

Thanks. I'll start using rdar://problem/xxxxxx  now.
