Dear Gretl Developers,

Today when we update Gretl for Mac OS all the server functions, example data, and databases are deleted. So every time I update the program need to re-download these files on the server. I don't have this problem on my Windows based PC.

I think this is because the default directory in Mac OS/X is inside the Gretl application ("/Applications/Gretl.app/Contents/Resources/share/gretl/").

My first suggestion: What do you think about moving functions, example data, and databases to the .gretl directory?

My second problem (which generates my second suggestion): Here at my work the internet access requires secure proxy (with password), so I can't access server's contents (such as functions and databases).

My second suggestion: Make offline installation of these contents available (so I can download them using the internet browser and made an offline installation).

Best,
