I'm interested in getting the UI working again on Mac.  As mentioned in https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/unison-users/conversations/topics/10918 , Unison currently does not build on OS X 10.7 or higher, because it uses the BWToolkit and Interface Builder plugin, which are no longer supported in Xcode 4.

I currently have a visually unappealing codebase which will build and run on both Xcode 3 and 4. I'm working to clean it up for submission.  After that, I am going to investigate some UI improvements: more clear display of conflicts in packages and the ability to click on a growl notification to open Unison.

Are there any other items that should be fixed for OS X?  What is the oldest version of OS X that we should retain support for?

Any reason to avoid Xcode 5? Will your Xcode 4 build run on Mavericks?

I?d be really happy to see the OSX GUI brought up to date!!

My $.02 is that backwards compatibility is not very important at all ? if things only work on the most current OS and XCode version, that?s not a big tragedy.  What?s much more important is forward compatibility ? i.e., keeping things simple and avoiding using features that may lose support (like BWToolkit).  

Best,

   - Benjamin

Yep, it works on Xcode 5 and Mavericks. I mentioned Xcode 4 since that is when interface builder plugins went away. 

I could continue building it with an older OS if we want to support folks who have not upgraded, or I could upgrade the project files to require Xcode 5 (Mountain Lion and Mavericks only).

Thanks a lot for taking care of this. There is one current bug that is
very annoying: when a transfer is going on, if one clicks on the
disclosing triangle (to see details about a folder, for instance), then
Unison crashes. I had tried to track down that bug but did not go very
far (as I don't know much about OS X debugging).

I'll gladly beta test your version, if you need testers.

Best,

Alan
