Hi Adam
I downloaded and installed both the kicad and kicad-extras.
I opened kicad and it found the files I had been working on last. In the
schematic view, I see that the two finger motion is linked to the zoom. If I
hold the shift key down, the two finger drag works to move the schematic
around in an intuitive manner (for me at least). Both up/down and sideways
works fine - with limits when the edge of the paper shows on the screen.
Thumbs up on all counts (except maybe the requirement for holding down the
shift key).
When I hold down the Command key, the two finger drag drives the image
sideways, but in a direction opposite to the two finger drag.
The zoom out - stops at a postage stamp size. Maybe this limit is too far..
Zoom in stops at a reasonable point - label text is almost an inch high.
----
Going to the pcb view, both default and openGl views link the two finger
drag to the zoom. The maximum limit of the zoom makes text numbers about one
foot wide. It is difficult to figure out where I am on a pad - the pad is
several windows wide. The smaller limit is postage stamp size for a page.
It seems that the trackpad to scroll/zoom is too sensitive. A one tick
movement of the two fingers will move/zoom the image quite a way.
Holding the shift key down converts the two finger drag to an up/down and
sideways scroll on the default view, but on the openGL view, shift limits
the scroll to up/down and Command limits the scroll to sideways. Not all
that desirable as well as being inconsistent with the schematic motions.
------
Thinking about the ReadMe on your Extras installation screen, I closed KiCad
and then copied the ftp table into the local Library directory as requested.
On re-opening KiCad, I can see the schematic, but somehow the pcb view was
left in an ultrazoomed/scrolled state from my previous experiments (see
above) - and I couldn't find my pcb. I tried zooming and scrolling. I saw
big and small gridwork, but the pcb must have been left miles away -
somewhere.
I didn't get to test the footprints - but nothing crashed..
My computer is a Macbook Air 11" with OSX 10.11.5 - using integral trackpad.
Have fun

Hi folks,
As you know, there have been some struggles testing what will become 4.0.3
for OS X. :) I think we got through them all!
If someone so inclined could download "4.0.3 rc7" from
http://downloads.kicad-pcb.org/osx/stable/, and do a little testing, that
would be awesome.
I don't need a super deep test, mostly "Do the DMGs look alright?" and
"KiCad opened after I installed it through the DMGs."
Thanks!
