What’s new in Navigator 1.3?

Environments are now easier to manage, and a new License Manager makes it easy to install and manage your licensed programs.

The Orange app was removed from the Home tab because Navigator requires version 5 of the Qt framework and Orange requires Qt 4. You can easily use Orange in its own environment as follows:

  1. In Navigator, go to your Environments tab, click the Create button and name your environment “Orange”.
  2. Add the Orange app to your new environment. Click your new Orange environment to select it, select “All apps” to search all apps for the Orange app, and type “orange” in the search box. From the search results select Orange version 2.7.8, then click the Apply button.
  3. On your Orange environment, click the triangle “Go” button, select Terminal, and in the terminal window that opens type “orange-canvas”. Orange opens up in its own environment, separate from Navigator.
