Good morning Teus,

/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app is the path to the terminal I am using. It was there before I installed X11. I do not see an X11 terminal anywhere in the Applications folder or subfolders I see a console.app that has the same date (but earlier time) stamp as the X11.app. (Just checked the console.app and it appears to be a gui to view the system log files.) 

Oh. Now I see the X11 terminal. 

Launch X11 --> click on the Applications menu at the top of the screen --> select Terminal. I had been typing the bibledit command into the regular terminal which had started X11 automatically and also opened bibledit. I notice that the X11 terminal is giving me the same error warning that the other terminal gives me except that the process numbers are different.

X11 terminal
bibledit-gtk
(process:3150): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.

regular terminal
bibledit-gtk
(process:97665): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.

I am now testing the restore function.
1. Move Bible folders from ./bibledit/projects
2. open bibledit. (Interesting. It has my references and knows the name of my project but obviously doesn't have any data. I hope I don't mess anything up by this experiment...)
3. Restore (got the error message, "The file to restore does not contain valid data[missing period] Nothing was restored" So is the issue with bibledit 4.6 not backing up with valid data?
4. Moving bible folder back

If you want, I could let you teamview on the older mac with 4.6 installed and the one with 4.7.5. But we would need to set up a time. I'm at +7 GMT. Give me a few minutes heads up.

In the meantime. I could also be on a different computer to be available to chat on skype as long as it is during waking hours. What time zone are you in? I'll check email ever hour or so today my skype name is bountonw

May God bless the translation of His word,

Brian

Hi Brian,

The development page you refer to at development page is an old and outdated one. Till you mentioned it recently, I had forgotten all about it and didn't know it still exists on the web. The current one is here: https://sites.google.com/site/bibledit/community/development. This one mentions the "cd gtk".

I am glad to hear that the work-around of moving the entire .bibledit folder from the old to the new machine works well, and gives you access to all of your data on the new machine.

Still, it is a work-around, and I am left wondering why the backup/restore procedure does not work properly on the Mac, as it does on Linux. If anybody would grant me access, through TeamViewer, to a Mac running OS X 10.x, then I could fiddle around to see what's the problem, and then fix it. I would also be able (hopefully) to look a bit more into the reason why installing bibledit through MacPorts does not work as it should.

The instructions for at https://sites.google.com/site/bibledit/gtk/installation/macintosh/bibledit-gtk-4-7-on-mac-osx probably also work for OS X 10.8. But it could be that they renamed the X11 terminal to Terminal Version 2.3. When Bibledit-Gtk at least gives the graphical window, then it means that you're using the right terminal. If the wrong terminal were used, no graphical window would show up at all. 

The X11 terminal is started like this:
Click the "Applications" icon at the bottom. Scroll down a bit and click "Utilities". Scroll down to the bottom, and click X11. 

How do you start the "Terminal Version 2.3" on OS X 10.8? I could use this information to update the installation instructions at https://sites.google.com/site/bibledit/gtk/installation/macintosh/bibledit-gtk-4-7-on-mac-osx.
