Yes, if you had opened an actual movie file, you would have seen a window. But since there was no data to show, there was no need to display a window. This is common with lots of Mac applications. You'll get used to it. TIP: You mean "menu bar" above. "Tool bar" has a different meaning for Mac users. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
