Hi there,

I often need to copy parts between models on two different 3DM files. How do I open multiple MoI instances on OSX ?

On windows I can do it by opening multiple models. I tried to duplicate the MoI.app but once you change something in the settings the copy app doesn't launch anymore...

I really need to be able to have two MoI running at the same time :(

Hi DesuDeus,

There was some discussion about this at the following link; http://moi3d.com/forum/messages.php?webtag=MOI&msg=5342.1

Cheers

When I press "New window" it says Run shell script action cannot be run

OSX 10.6.8 latest 1 sept beta :(

Tried re-installing the app. Still doesn't work

Could it be because of my moi.ini ?

Hi DesuDeus,

> When I press "New window" it says Run shell script action cannot be run

Are you possibly running any anti-virus mechanisms that might be interfering with things?

Maybe there is some kind of permissions problem - what method are you using to unzip the .app.zip file?

Try right-clicking on the .app and choose "Show package contents" - then inside there go to Contents/Resources - there should be a file there named runwine.sh - does that file have execute permissions set on it? When you are in a terminal at that directory and you do a ls -l what do you see reported as the permissions for that file?

Also do you possibly have any unusual permissions set on your /tmp folder ?

Hi DesuDeus,

> Could it be because of my moi.ini ?

It's not likely to have anything to do with moi.ini - it's more likely some problem in permissions set on some files.

Also you might try doing a system reboot - some stuff in OSX can get confused with duplicated apps, it could be possible that first try where you duplicated the app may have gotten things into a bad state.

runewine.sh has all permissions, /tmp as well /tmp/wineskin too

Running V3 beta sep 1 2012 on 10.6.8 :(

It's missing an automator action I think

Hi Shapenoid, yes the mechanism for the new window opening uses an automator app that runs a shell script.

But I don't really know why that mechanism is not working properly on your machine.

I'm away on vacation now, but when I return in a week I'll investigate some more.

Can we investigate this a bit more ?

I'm installing 10.8 tomorrow at work, will load the new beta to see if things has changed...

I really need to be able to open multiple windows :(

Hi Desudeus, please let me know if you see any difference on 10.8 , that might point to some kind of issue with 10.6.x .

I can probably help you more easily with 10.8 since I have that here, but I do not have 10.6.x here and so it's difficult for me to investigate problems with it.

One thing to note is that if you install the very latest 10.8 update, the 10.8.2 version you will need to install XQuartz and change a setting in MoI in order to run the current v3 beta on 10.8.2 as described here: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=5414.10

And also for running version 2.5 on 10.8.2 you will want to get the latest 2.52 version which you can get at http://moi3d.com/reinstall.htm - it will run on 10.8.2 without any other things required.

Ok.

I got multiple users on that computer, maybe it's the problem ?

There's the admin, and I got my own name as a user with limited rights (asking for password when installing apps). I got the password by the way.

I tried changing permissions of the MoI app and it's sub-directories with no success.

Will tell you how it goes with 10.8 :)

Installed 2.52 + 10.8.2 and everything is fine ! Yay

Hi DesuDeus, that's great news! It is still a mystery to me why it was not working on your previous machine... Probably something related to permissions but it's hard to know exactly what.
