tRev

[Bob Sneidar]

I ALMOST sent in an email saying that I had installed tRev in the proper location, but it still didn't work, until I realized I installed tRev in the same place as the shortcut/alias. DOH! Still, I agree it ought to be fairly straightforward for tRev to install itself in the current Revolution folder. Those with 2 versions should be on their own. :-)

Please accept my heartfelt recommendation to make this process simpler by distributing an installer if you need to be in a very specific place, and include a link from /Applications/tRev, as it in fairly standard. Or include a README.txt in the zip with the .app. Or something.
