thank you for the reference. I will have a look. I wanted to put the
application on the Mac App Store, but it looks I would have to pay
Apple and I don't want to. Hope your solution doesn't require that.

I wanted to do that already. Thanks for the directory names. Do you
have an url where Apple discusses such directories?

> Or better allow us to chnage the directory

That's on my todo. As always, I need help. This is the kind of change
people can do easily (the preference mechanism is already in place).
So, if you want to hack on the launcher, this would be a good start.

It's not just you. I see 2 solutions:

- have a menu item to refresh when right clicking on the "hit refresh
button" message.
- automatically download the content when expanding the tree.

Hi there!

Worked like a charm in Mavericks here.

The Pharo Loader looks superb :)

I've installed the app with no trouble, and downloaded the latest Pharo2 image. After launching it, the image showed a notification with this message:

"Information

Pharo cannot locate the sources file named /Applications/PharoV20.sources.

Please check that the file is named properly and is in the

same directory as this image.

Make sure the sources file is not an Alias."

I hope that says to you more than it says to me :)

Feel free to ask for clarification, if you need any.
