Hi, I tried it, but the performance was still abysmal. I find it unusable. Scrolling and zooming are one frame per second and it really disrupts anything that you are trying to do. A friend of mine, who is a Mac lover, created this for testing, it's made with "winebottler" and works acceptably. I

OK, back from the shops! kicad_osx_v3009_STABLE It was some daily build, I think. I'm sure you know where from. I suspected that it was a wx issue. Can you give me a link to pester the wx devs? I will happily be their tester too :-) I have a project of my own and a bunch of people, at least two

Jerry, I'm keen to test if people are making worthwhile changes to impact the performance issues! If you know of any version that needs some runtime on OS X, email me, or reply to this, and I'll do what I'm told! Thanks! OK, next message :-) On Mon, Jul 18, 2011 at 7:58 PM, Jerry Jacobs wrote: >
