theralph Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Greetings and Hallucinations, Are there plans to make the console compatible with Tiger (10.4.11)? At one point I think I recall that there were plans to make the console work in 10.4.11. My laptop running 10.5.8 just died and it had my console on it. I just ordered a new laptop with Snow Leopard and I suppose I will be reinstalling Retrospect on it but it would be nice to have the console work on my 10.4.11 engine machine. Thanks for any insights you may provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 The console will NEVER be compatible with 10.4.11. It uses UI features that do not exist in that OS version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 You'll have to get an official word on this, but I think the answer is no. I asked this same question about 18 months ago when Retrospect 8 was in beta (seriously, isn't it still?), and the response was that the Console code was designed specifically to use whiz-bang API interface elements present only in Leopard and beyond. I then asked if there was a possibility of a web-based (HTML) console interface, and the response was a tepid "perhaps". You could search for those old posts, but I think that they disappeared when the beta test forum disappeared just over a year ago. Seems to me that this issue has been addressed with the iPhone app, which seems to have plans to evolve to a near-full console app. Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
