Starting Freeplane under Mac OS X
The Freeplane start-up method will likely get easier as the number of Mac users increases. Of course, the reverse is also true ;-> Here is the current situation, and some possible improvements:
Using the startup script
Freeplane may be run by invoking the startup script freeplane.sh from the directory where that script resides, as detailed under the Run heading on the main Macintosh page. As mentioned there, this script works under Tiger, though problems had been discussed for Leopard and Snow Leopard in the Open Discussion forum. In response to a related bug report, this issue was resolved in current versions of Freeplane. Your feedback is welcome here.
Running from the Finder, Desktop, or Dock
Freeplane can be started from the GUI (Graphical User Interface) by creating a custom script, to automate the process of opening Terminal, changing to the proper directory, and running the freeplane.sh script. Both a bash shell script and an AppleScript have been tested. Example scripts, and/or step-by-step details will be posted on request here.
We hope to have a Mac-friendly package available for download soon. In the future, a full, Mac-specific (Cocoa) application might be possible, including use of the OS X menu bar.
Running the .jar file (NOT!)
Running of the jar file instead of the script file is not a good idea because it does not start any plug-in. Dimitry 07:30, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip, Dimitry. I've reverted the relevant sections to the previous content, and have submited a patch for freeplane.sh in the Mantis bug report. --Jayseye 22:05, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Update: The patch was accepted and is now included with current versions of Freeplane. We also have a Mac developer on the team now. --Jayseye 09:13, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
