[MAC] Cannot open a directory from within the Application

[EXT-OWL]

I'm on MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1.

When I select 'Open Directory' from the menu I always get an error saying 'ERROR: [FILENAME] does not exist or does not have read permissions'

Attaching a Screenshot -

I get the same error when I try dropping in a folder.

I can open a single image (drag and drop as well) but the issue seems to be only with trying to open directories.

I have used gatekeeper to unlock the app, and I've also given full disk access.

Any help would be appreciated.

I confirm the bug. A fix is coming...

Give these a try to see if they fix your issues.

macOS amd64:

macOS arm64:

Thank you.

I can confirm the second link fixes the issue, but it keeps crashing a bit.

The first link crashes while opening.

Can you post out the crashing logs that macOS generates when it crashes?
Both for the amd64 and for the arm64 ones?

[EXT-OWL]

Sure.

This the log for amd64 - https://pastebin.com/uvMk0fSs

Surprisingly I hvaen't been able to replicate a crash in the arm64 version. When I do I'll paste the logs here

Here should be a fixed version of amd64:

However, since you are on arm64 machine, you probably should keep using that one, except for the OTIO bug reported on #238.

This is pretty embarrassing - I am very new to Mac and I didn't know the amd version wouldn't work on my arm machine :D. I will keep using this version that you shared. Looking forward to the updates !!

This is pretty embarrassing - I am very new to Mac and I didn't know the amd version wouldn't work on my arm machine :D.

Actually, the amd64 version can run on arm64 (M1, M2, M3,etc.) machines. It will run under an emulator called Rossetta2. That means it should run a tad slower, but it will work. The reason it was not working before was that it was missing a library that was installed on my machine but not on yours. Please give it a try to see that it actually boots.

[EXT-OWL]

Hi I can say that the amd64 version doesn't boot. it defaults to crash every time I open it. I can check it with the specific library that you mentioned - can you point me where to install it?

[ggarra13]

It cannot tell you what library is the problem without a crash log. First, try this version and see if it crashes:

.amd64:

If it still crashes, send me the crash log. I think then a new security feature of macOS that was updated in the New Year might be the problem.

Happy to say that this version doesn't crash, and I can open directories without the error message popping.
