Multiple Mac Installations of Mantid

Reported by: Peter Parker Owned by: Russell Taylor
Priority: minor Milestone: Release 2.6
Component: Framework Keywords:

Blocking: Tester: Michael Reuter

Description

It does not appear possible to install multiple versions of Mantid on Macs.

Users are forced to name the second installation something different from "MantidPlot", and this results in Mantid not being able to find certain files.

This has been fixed by changes in #6976 & #6902.

To test: Install Mantid, then copy the entire MantidPlot.app folder to somewhere else (or still in the /Applications folder with a different name) and then try opening both variants from Spotlight, the Finder or via the 'open' command. You could also try installing a different version in the original location, and also changing the install location when running the installer. Everything should just work!
