krpano Installation on Mac OSX – Special Steps
krpano is currently not a typical Mac OSX application and therefore requires a few additional steps for installation.
Why is that?
Why is that?
- The 'krpano Tools' is a small user interface app that relies on the command-line program 'krpanotools' to do the main work.
- Newly downloaded files are automatically tagged with 'Quarantine Flags' by the system. These 'Quarantine Flags' prevent the 'krpano Tools' app from accessing other programs in the same folder (like 'krpanotools').
- The 'FIX INSTALL OSX.command' script removes these flags from the krpano files. After that, all krpano applications should work fine.
