Yes, that's very nice indeed! I hadn't noticed before the Window >

exactly what I was missing and it's great!

One suggestion (for future releases): I've always expected the small  
boxes at the bottom of the Windows (line number in the editor,  
magnification and page number in the previewer) to act as dialogs: you  
double-click on either of them and a dialog pops up allowing the line  
number, magnification or page number  to be changed. Is that planned  
in a future release (I'm in no rush about that at all, just curious)?

Working all very fine in any case, and installation straightforward (I  
deleted beforehand the QT libraries in /Library/Frameworks and  
hunspell and poppler libraries in /usr/local/lib, to be on the safe  
side, I don't know whether that was required).

Exploring inside the app bundle, I see there are codecs and image  
formats built-in (for JPEG, TIFF, GIF, MNG (? -- no idea what that  
is)) in TeXworks.app/Contents/plugins, I imagine that means it will be  
possible to include files in the corresponding formats via  
\includegraphics in LaTeX, and also that teXworks recognizes a plugin  
architecture. Very interesting.
