As you know, I have had the 10.4 install disc on my desk for a while  
now, so with this dangling before me I just couldn't postpone it any  
longer. After some housecleaning, maintenance and the usual backup I  
successfully upgraded to 10.4.4.

Surprise! Your HDRcapOSX.app worked right away... (okay, there was a  
connection hiccup at first, but I power-cycled the DSLR and then it  
was golden). Pretty minimal, but it got my tethered Canon clicking  
away in no time. I have some questions about the operation, but that  
will be a separate email.

Something I also noticed when I unarchived the TAR in 10.4.4 was that  
a particular file (CanonHDRcap.app.BdF) was mis-named on extraction  
in 10.3 and 10.2, resulting in *two* "CanonHDRcap.app" files (one of  
which would be appended with a ".1" or "_1" depending on the  
extraction method).

Thinking the extraction might be the culprit, I copied this 10.4  
extracted set of files to 10.2 and had the same old error of  
"Application Launch Failure. The application "(null)" could not be  
launched because of a shared library error: ")<CanonHDRcap>  
<CanonHDRcap> <RCSDKCarbon> <>". So I think there is something in  
the .app that is not cool in 10.2.8 (and maybe not 10.3.9, but that's  
gone now...)

Let me know if anyone else can get CanonHDRcap.app to work under  
anything other than 10.4! But, hey, it's working! Supercoolness...
