phex won';t let me d/l it (Mac OSX)
 
I tried to cllick on phex for OSX but the arrow turned into a vertical line, meaning I couldn't d/l it AT ALL! What to do?

(When/if someone tells me how to gey it- WHAT do I do w/ it after it['s on the gesk top- double-click to get it in the dock?)

Do you mean you went here:
Phex - Download

clicked the link for OSX and the download didn't start?

Else: Just work with it like with any other MacOSX program: Move to Applications folder to keep, doubleclick to start, after started ctrl-click the dock icon (which then shows) and select "keep in dock" to keep it in dock.

Have gone to Phex - Download 4x, just to be sure, and something is preventing d/l. WHY? I really want to use it!

Otherwise,how do I move app fom desktop to Applications folder? I know what to do once it's there, but thanks for the clear explanation. :)

How's the weather there? I'm in southern Indiana, USA + it's hot, humid and sunny.

Try it directly using sourceforge:
SourceForge.net: Files

Try selecting a different mirror in case the auto selected mirror fails.

Just use drag&drop.

It's that simple on a Mac :)

It "might" possibly be due to your safari security settings. The download page works for me.

And no installation necessary, as Arne suggests, just drag & drop to your prefered location (eg: applications folder). :)


I have a question about OSX firewall, does PHEX need to be re-added for each new version of Phex? (particularly if older versions still exist on the computer.) That's the impression I have.

It might be, that Phex has to be re-added for each new version.

I'm not perfectly sure how I implemented it... It's been some time since I had my own Mac... (my old one belongs to my wife, now).

You can check it easily, though: Ctrl-click on the application icon and "show its contents" (or such, terminology might have changes).

Most info should be in the "info.plist"

It's how I did it in the first place...

Best wishes,
Arne
