We are in the process of doing an update to our software. We switched to Rev 4.0 for this update in order to fix a few bugs. Unfortunately, it's looking like standalones built with Rev 4.0 do not run under Jaguar. We're getting the infamous bouncing icon in the dock and then it crashes. Is anyone else seeing this? The jaguar_theme_support bundle is still in the Plugins folder in the app bundle, so I'm assuming this issue is not intentional (in other words, RunRev have not intentionally dropped support for 10.2.x).

What I can't remember though is if there ended up being an easy fix for it, or if we had to revert to a previous version of Rev. I've checked permissions on the app bundle, which is usually the cause of such behavior, but everything looks fine to me. I've compared the info.plist files between the previous version of our app (built with Rev 3.0) and this version (built with 4.0) and the only differences are version information. Everything seems to be correct there. So I'm worried it's an engine problem.

I have had standalones built with RunRev 4 running on Mac OS 10.3.9.

Make sure your systems have been updated as far as they will go (i.e. to 
10.3.9)
and things should work.
