Sorry that's a little bug in the IDE on OSX, you've got to start the designer manually. :)

It works if you specify the name of the executable file, witch is located in :
FormDesigner.app/Contents/MacOS/FormDesigner

...and unfortunately... Windows at work...

ok, I got it to work.

I went to IDE prefs. under General then, on the Visual Designer, I use the 'browse' feature to find FormDesigner (in the PB folder). After selecting the path to Form Designer, I added '/Contents/MacOS/FormDesigner' to the path (at the end) and it works.
