Hi Jaques!

Some suggestions for the next Linux build:

Add the following items to the KnownIssues.txt:

- Helpfile (F1) not available.
- It is not possible to enable/disable File Formats by checkbox.


install.sh:
Here I would like to see, that first the files are copied to their destination and than modified via sed.

Background:
When I use the semi-automatic update-mechanism, I manually extract the downloaded archive, and then install it. But sometimes I want to compare the installed components with the update-archive content.
With the current install.sh the extracted content gets modified and I have no chance to get the original content of former versions.

Bye
Christoph

Thanks for reminder about the known issues, I'll try to do a better job of making sure that is current and up to date.

I like your suggestion for the installer, but I'm curious as to your opinion of the uninstall script. In order to make the uninstaller work I would have to modify it during installation so it is aware of the location the user chose to install beyond compare. I don't know of any better place to put the uninstaller than the extracted directory. I'm open to suggestions if you or others don't like this idea.
