Agree on this too!  

Please. 

 The installers are great but Csound5GUI.app isn't all working correctly.

It seems so close, but it's not there yet - and how does it deal with fltk instruments (when you launch these?)

The text editor doesn't correctly deal with all .txt files and wrap lines correctly - like MacCsound did.

The editor doesn't link to the manual - and I can't get the help to open the manual

It doesn't come up with a default .csd (as it should) for a first time user!

and

There should be a collection of .csd that it points to by default - for beginners too - and some toots too.

A working Csound GUI on os x would be nice.

Again, the ATS opcodes don't work so well and need attention. I cannot get Loris to work so an updated tutorial for os x on installation and use of Loris opcodes and analysis utility would be useful.

Some utility programs are not included in the os x distribution (e.g. the sdif to adsyn conversion utility).

A new pvs opcode for spectral stretching! Some other less conventional arbitrary fft stuff available in CDP (e.g. formant extraction and manipulation), shuffling/scattering bins, spectral tuning, tracing and so on!

Many Thanks

completely agree.

Victor's Macintosh Installers are fantastic.

It needs to be as easy again for the Windows *users* *owners* *students* too.

It used to be that easy - back in the day of Winsound.

windows binaries distributed as a plain zip, without installer, and without python dependency.

that would be nice :)

Looking forward to the release. Not sure about having it in the csound 
repository. You know better than I but apart from it using QT's qmake 
doesn't QT also have a rather strange licensing issue which might 
conflict with Csound's licence?
