Re: Stable release update.

 

Nice Adam!

I wonder what happens with the console, basically it fires up, but most  
keystrokes are handled as shortcuts..

In the other hand plugin (footprint wizard) loading doesn’t show
any wizard (and we bundle a few).

(Open footprint editor -> New footprint using wizard)
check if we’re providing correct env vars, and if this code is valid enough for our OS X bundling.

Otherwise we could extend the places were python looks for plugins at start if that were necessary.

Best,
Miguel Ángel.
