Thanks guys! That got it. One other thing to note is that on OSX there appears to be a missing resource. I believe its also related to the PFD. When I first start GCS, it looks like it hangs up when loading the core, but its actually showing a dialog thats being covered up by the LP spash screen. Simply pressing ESC gets you past it, but its definitely something to fix. Im sure its just a path issue. If someone can give me some clues as to where to look and whats going on , I may be able to fix it myself and submit a PR for it.
