I hacked together an application for my own personal use that can be used as a launcher for Sage, though I decided to share it, since I'm quite sure someone will find it useful. It consists of a bash shell script packaged in a small .app bundle. I'm not as familiar with shell scripts as I'd like to be, and, as such, the script I'm using to launch Sage is rather basic right now. It depends on a hardwired path for the Sage binary "/Applications/sage/sage" and does not yet enter the notebook() command nor does it open the browser yet (though that would be a fairly easy addition). The source code for my current version of the bash script is: "#!/usr/bin/env bash
open /Applications/sage/sage". The script is saved with a .command extension (as .command files are set to open in Terminal automatically). The script is placed in the Contents/MacOS folder of the app bundle. Given a working Info.plist, this launcher is dockable, shows up in Spotlight searches, can be launched by the various application launchers available for OS X, etc. While it is by no means a user friendly frontend, it does work quite well as a simple launcher application. Perhaps a similar launcher application could be included in the Mac binary distribution. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
