Just been trying to find a user-friendly way to help users that need GenoPro on a mac without having to ask them to purchase both Fusion/Parallels and a copy of Windows.The free genealogy software is an excellent guide that helps you to find the best genealogy software for your needs. Though, it could very well end up being too buggy. Which is why I would hope maybe GenoPro would consider this a possible intermediate solution to the problem. I have tested this on my own Mac at home, but of course, can't distribute the file to anyone, likely, for licensing/ EULA reasons (I think wine is okay to redistribute though). Especially since it licenses on-launch not on- install, so users would still have to go through the normal licensing process the first time they launch the app. If this is tested and found to be generally working most of the time on most Macs, then having this pre-built wine-included "app" file for download by users would be great. It bloats the file to maybe 400MB, so that's the main downside, but it seems to work for the most part. Basically a standalone "app" of GenoPro for Mac that has Wine built into it.
There is an option in Wine / Winebotter where you can package it all into a single app file. They are typically not tech-savvy which can make these processes difficult. I work in customer support for an organization whose users sometimes use GenoPro and we run into this issue a lot with customers that are Mac-only households. I appreciate how much GenoPro devs have been willing to work with us and release modified / updated versions that are more compatible with CrossOver or Wine. I have had success using it with WineBottler / Wine on Mac, but I understand for many users it can be a painful, buggy process.
