[34c4be5] | 1 | Installing Survex on Mac OS X |
---|
| 2 | ============================= |
---|
[6df03c1] | 3 | |
---|
[6084739] | 4 | Next to the INSTALL file that you are currently reading is the Survex folder. |
---|
| 5 | To install, just drag this folder to your Applications folder (you will need to |
---|
| 6 | be logged in at an Administrator level to do this), or drag it to a folder |
---|
| 7 | under your home folder. |

---|
[6084739] | 9 | The programs alongside Aven.app need to be run from the command-line (open |
---|
| 10 | Terminal.app): |
---|
| 11 | |
---|
| 12 | * extend produces extended elevations - this is probably the most useful of |
---|
[c0a3f6a9] | 13 | these command line tools. Since version 1.2.27 you can produce simple |
---|
| 14 | extended elevations from Aven using the "Extended Elevation" function. |
---|
| 15 | However the command line tool allows you to specify a spec file to control |
---|
| 16 | how the survey is extended, which you can't currently do via Aven. |
---|
[6084739] | 17 | |
---|
| 18 | * cavern processes survey data, but since version 1.2.3 you can process .svx |
---|
| 19 | files by simply opening them with Aven.app, so you no longer need to run |
---|
[79b32a95] | 20 | cavern from the command line. The main reason to run cavern directly is for |
---|
| 21 | use in scripts. |
---|
[6084739] | 22 | |
---|
| 23 | * diffpos compares the positions of stations in two .3d, .pos, etc files. |
---|
| 24 | |
---|
| 25 | * sorterr sorts a .err file by a specified field. |
---|
| 26 | |
---|
[79b32a95] | 27 | * survexport provides access to Aven's "Export" functionality from the command |
---|
| 28 | line which can be useful in scripts. |
---|
| 29 | |
---|
[6084739] | 30 | * dump3d dumps out a list of the items in a .3d file - it's mainly useful for |
---|
| 31 | debugging. |

[5d7be38] | 33 | Known shortcomings specific to the Mac OS X version of Survex |
---|
| 34 | ============================================================= |
---|
[34c4be5] | 35 | |
---|
[6084739] | 36 | These could be reproduced with Survex 1.2.19 when built using wxWidgets 3.0.2: |
---|
[b72f4b5] | 37 | |
---|
[e3a2b41] | 38 | * On OS X, usually you can push the mouse pointer against the top of the |
---|
| 39 | screen to get the menu bar to appear, but this doesn't seem to work for |
---|
| 40 | aven. As a workaround, aven detects if you're trying to do this and |
---|
| 41 | drops out of full-screen mode, which isn't perfect but beats being stuck |
---|
| 42 | in full screen mode. |
