I just wanted to say that this would be a good idea to package processing
as a .dmg instead of a .sitx, as Tiger does not come with StuffIt by
default, and that .dmg is more common than sitx.

i'm just doing it to spite the tiger people cuz i'm jealous.

actually it was more that making a sitx is easer (command line) though the
same can be done for a dmg, so maybe i can switch back to that.

It's not just that StuffIt doesn't come installed on new machines, but it
doesn't actually work at all in Tiger so you're cutting off users. I'm not
sure if it's bad practice for me to change the priority but I think it
should be changed.

please don't change the summary for the bug. your change made the bug title become
"more important than it looks." or the priority for that matter, since P5 is the lowest, P1 is
the top. not your fault, we haven't posted about this stuff anywhere.

i think the tiger 10.4.3 update broke compatibility with stuffit, but as i understand it, the fix
will be along soon, if it hasn't already been posted by allume. have you checked their site?
