Thanks milton for all...

we must wait before installing lion?

You can install it, but I'm simply warning you it may not work. We won't know until we can free up one of my remaining Macs for testing to try it out.

I certainly would not be the first one to install and use it on my main Macs.  When Apple did a similar App store installer for their Xcode IDE, they had a a bug in their installer script  and it wiped the entire drive partition clean for a lot of Mac developers. So they lost everything on that Mac.

Given Apples focus on iDevices, I suspect they do very little Q&A before shipping product on the Mac.

For spectrometry,i think are nice,but personlly,i will not use this function...

To do spectrometry right is a tonne of work to design it, write the code and then test it. Since very few people responded on my initial request,  it simply is not worth my time adding it in and it won't generate enough sales. As a matter of fact, I doubt I'll add in any new photometry or astrometry features at all going forward, as other than myself people don't use them.

So the tools are their but there's no one to swing the hammer.
