Title: Mac Client Problems Outlined... Post by: ArrowJ on August 01, 2010, 01:52:47 AM Hardware
MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (Model 4,1) 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Software Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard Bitcoin 0.3.7 (according to Bitcoin >> About) Problems Preferences: the preferences I have tried all have zero effect as far as I can tell. "Minimize to the tray instead of the taskbar" & "Minimize to the tray on close" do nothing (including effecting the cpu usage...see below). Start Bitcoin on system startup is grayed out although I have added it manually to my login items. I have not tried "Limit coin generation to 'x' processors" or "Connect through socks4 proxy:", but I can only guess that these options are not working either. Crash On Close: about ever other time I attempt to close Bitcoin using Bitcoin >> Quit the app crashes rather than closing like a friendly app should. Coin Generation: frankly I am trusting that this is NOT a bug, but just bad luck. I have been running the app for a few weeks now with zero generation. Again, I assume this is bad luck, but considering the other problems I wanted to mention it in case others were noticing this that were using my setup as well. ----------- If there are any known solution to these problems or if there is anything I can do to help sort them out please let me know. Thanks! Title: Re: Mac Client Problems Outlined...

I think it's purely based on luck. Using the OSX client here.

I will try to look into these problems, thanks for the detailed information. I think it would be nice to enable the Command-H method of hiding the app.. the tray thing probably doesn't make much sense for Mac OS.
