I doubt that after DVDP for Win, DVDPM for Win, iOS and (sometime) Android that Ken (the sole programmer) is tackling yet another fully-fledged version of DVDP.

The mobile versions have the advantage that they are relatively compact and function-reduced (compared to the Desktop version).

You can run DVDP on a Mac either via DualBoot or in a Virtual Machine.

I see no big sense in doing another version for one specific OS.

IF something would really make sense, it is rewriting the whole thing from scratch in an OS-independent cross-platform-language like Java (or maybe another language, I'm no expert).

This would ensure usability on Windows, Mac and Unix-based systems.

But given the fact how evolved Profiler is, and that only one person is programming it, I won't keep my breath... Maybe for 5.0, but I can't imagine Ken having fun to do all of this again from scratch.

So, my vote is "NO". I prefer Ken improving the current version.

Such a big product should have more than one programmer. Things are taking so long because Ken is choosing to do everything on his own.

Maybe there's just enough income to pay a third person (Ken, Gerri & ...) and I doubt a MacOS version would change that.

It might not be a matter of choice.  My guess is that it is a matter of fiscal responsibility.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Come on gang, let's keep it nice. I am a bilingual in the computer industry, meaning I buy, set-up and maintain Macs at work and use a PC at home. They can both be made to run the same major software equally.

Please, let's not start a 25 page PC vs. Mac bashing.

Awwww spoil sport          

But the fact remains is that Macs have been capable of running Windows programs for years and a few years ago Apple changed from Motorola chips to Wintel, the Maac soiftware debate has been a non-issue for a very long time now, not like it was ten years ago.

I'd really like an OSX version. I've only recently switched over to a MacBook, and it's a shame I can't use this beautiful program anymore.

The Mac App Store is a real opportunity for DVD Profiler to increase its sales. I vote Yes : I didn't bought a Mac to run Windows programs on it ; and to me, DVD Profiler is the only one without real competitors on Mac OS X.
Please, be courteous...

This poll is really going to boil down to Mac users vs PC users.  Mac users will vote yes, PC users will most likely vote no or why.

Why?

We have a single programmer to keep up with the PC version and mobile apps. One guy, wjile I can't speak for him, over the years Mac support has been requested many thousands of times, in ten years Mac has NEVER been supported by Intervocative(original) or Invelos. I would guess the chances are slim and none and slim left town.
