Mike,
i'm really grateful to take time to explain in public your opinion.
Years ago i contacted you by mail and you gave me the same today point of view.

If you really want to know how many people would be interested in a Mac OS version i think you should give the best view at that petition, contact the actual customers (probably many of them are just using it on a Mac inside a virtual machine), put the petition in your home page and so on.

You're right about the numbers but 10% is only the numbers of the WHOLE win / mac users and it's really not good for you to taste the potential Mac OS buyers.

For example:
Do you know how many film producers use windows ? I think 0% or less
How many photographers (pro or hobbist) use windows ? I'm sure they're NOT 90% ...

Come on, Mike, give us a real chance to have your amazing Qimage on a Mac !

Many of us seems to begin to be tired to wait for it ... :-\

PS i've to make a confidence: i'm the Author of that 4 years old petition 

Hi Mike,
thanks for writing (i don't read your answer  ).
Seriously: i can understand you've no time perhaps to develop and improve 2 different version but what about thinking to give the project to a third part developer that can help you in doing that ?
You're really so 'close' to many of us, Mac users, that are silently waiting for years for a native Mac version of your outstanding program ?

You're right, that makes option 1 more ... inviting 

pshrutpark,
thanks for pointing me to VirtualBox. 
I'm going to try Qimage also under it.

4 years ago there was a poll on a third web site.
Mike had clearly stated that there wasn't a concrete and mature Mac Os market extimating that only 8 - 10 % of potential users (compared to Win users) could be interested in a native Mac OS X support.

Today the scenario seems to be completely changed.
Apple goes up day by day, AppStore, new HW ...

Personally i use Qimage under Fusion (that had bought / installed only for Qimage   )

Why not give Mike new interesting numbers ?
Probably we can change his mind about that.  
Please, vote !

Yes, i'm trying to install the canon driver in crossover, but it's a totally mess.
If only Mike jump on the Mac OSX train ...

Hi Fred,
thanks for the reply.
Yes i'd like to properly setup paper quality (photo paper pro, gloss paper, etc), quality printer output (fine, superfine, etc), and so on as i can do under Mac OS (or on Windows OS) after installing Canon drivers.

I've tried to setup A4 (instead of A4 borderless) as you suggested but i continue to have a property dialog box with no the above options to setup.

Hi,
any chance for Qimage Ultimate version to support the new X100 raw files ?

I've installed CrossOver and Qimage on my Mac OsX.
I've installed in Mac my Canon MG8150 drivers.
It's odd but in Qimage the printer setup gives very few properties, as you can see in the attached pic.
No important property (quality image, paper's type, etc.) is avaible ...
Any help ?

Hi,
i'm trying to find the best method to make qimage runs on Mac OsX.
I've installed CrossOver.
On Mac i've installed my Canon printer driver.
Unfortunately when click on printer setup from within Qimage i've really few properties and missing the most important as you can see in the attached pic.
Any help ?
Thanks

Hi,
after years i've abandoned Qimage cause switching to Mac world i come back to Windows world to install the very_only_missing_win_program: Qimage !
Unfortunately it's still devoted to Win OS 
I've installed into vmware fusion (win 7 64).

I need to install windows driver of my Canon MG8150 ?
Or vmware fusion detect (as seems to be) my Mac Canon drivers ?

In printer setup (from within Qimage) i've found all these profiles, which i have to choose


Thanks
