Is Apple going to worm out over a  curl / Open Unix feature that allows the user to download texture maps from a folder on my web site to the user's ~/Library/Application Support/Artly There Software/Compositor Support/Textures folder*  so I don't have to bulk up my distribution needlessly with megabytes of texture JPGs?
 

s  = "cd " + "~/Library/Application\ Support/Artly\ There\ Software/Compositor\ Support/Textures/;" 
s += " curl -O" 
s += " " + url + " 2>&1"

done = fn DoUnixJPEG( s )


Works alright  so far and would save me 5-10mb of application bloat.

Until they download the item or add one manually, the OpenGL popup menu will say "Download (item)?" and then I'll confirm, for one, or for all
