Also, if you haven't upgraded to Bitcoin-Qt 0.8, then you should do so. The older versions sometimes took like 24 hours to sync the blockchain. Version 0.8 takes only 5-6 hours (at least on Linux). I'm going to work on getting by VM back up so I can test this!
By the way, does it have the Armory icon in the task tray (or whatever it's called)? Do you know if there's a way to do that?
Also, does anyone have experience with digitally signing .app's? You said .dmgs are shinier... well I don't mind a little shiny, if it doesn't come with drawbacks (beside a little more up front cost of setting it up). I'm still mostly going mostly by your guys' judgment on what's appropriate...
Sorry picobit... I appreciate you trying, but it looks like higuys just left all the competitors in the dust!
Signing is easy. Once you have your cert you'll do codesign -s identity Path_to.app, easily scripted. You can check that it signed by making sure the _CodeSignature dir exists inside Contents.
You can add an icon to the app easily, too. It won't really do anything when Armory is running though, since python is a separate task. All you have to do is make an icns file (you can convert a png or something into one), put it in a Resources dir inside Contents of the app, and then add a CFBundleIconFile key to the Info.plist, the value being the name of the icns file (minus extension). By task tray I think you mean the dock, users choose what goes in that. If referring to the menu bar (at the top), then yes, the icon is there while running.
Thanks for reminding about bitcoin-qt, turns out I was on a super old version!
