When Will RT Run on Mac OS 10.15.2 Catalina?

HIRAM,

SIP is on by default.
App run from /Applications

I did not see any messages.

In any event, the fact the it launches without crashing is a step forward. Hopefully, whatever functionality is causing the navigation problem will be solved.

Ok,. the one sure way to get 5.8 to work on default security is to physically add /bin/sh to Full Disk Access under Privacy in the Security & Privacy Control Panel.

You may need to navigate to the /bin folder using Go > Go to Folder… (Command-Shift-G)
You can drag sh onto the panel.

HIRAM,

Thanks. This solution worked.

Hello @HIRAM.
New security on Catalina is a pain indeed. Did you try the workaround we made on Siril (thanks to Alex from GIMP) ?
It allows to access to every folder without adding /bin/sh to Full Disk Access under Privacy in the Security & Privacy Control Panel.
You can take a look here:

Cheers,

Thanks yes I am investigating transferring setup from /bun/sh to main()

OK.
Gimp is doing like that and Inkscape too (in c++ for this latter).

@lock042 and macOS users this is a test of a simplified bundle structure. Accessing folders in Catalina raises the standard security prompt. /bin/sh is no longer used so that may be removed from your Security & Privacy control panel.

Could test it tomorrow

Also note that I disabled the overlay-hidden scrollbars as a test… it’s easier to pull the panes around via remote on a touch tablet but if it is too ugly I can revert. I had wondered what ever happened to those scroll bars anyway…

Can you use the visible scrollbars (“equals zero”) or do you prefer the automagically-hiding overlay scrollbars (“equals one”)?

  • GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0
  • GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=1

@HIRAM, that looks good to me. If you want me I test something please tell me.

As long as processing and saving are working, that is the main thing. One issue that may come up is with îñtėrńåtįøñāl characters in the paths. That has caused crashes in the past and the hotfix was written in the executable loader script, which is no longer existing. Many thanks for testing @lock042 !

Yes the only problem is that the app UI is slow on my mac. But It is a GTK3 issue… I have the same one with Siril.

Anyway, I tried importing, exporting some processing without any issues.

@lock042 The gui seems a-ok to me speed-wise. I am on a first-gen cylinder with 64gb ram and a standard 1080p monitor. If you have more pixels, the slowness is a known issue, even though it’s origin seems somewhat mysterious.

Wondering what your screen pixels are, and if you could provide a Screen Capture video (throw it into https://filebin.net).

@HIRAM
It is:
iMac 27" Retina 5K / Core i5 hexacore 3,0 GHz / 8 GB DDR4 2666 MHz / Fusion Drive 1 TB / AMD Radeon Pro 570X 4 GB
But I’m not a mac user, I know nothing about it. It is the computer I have at my office :).

Wow so little RAM :cry:

Yes, could be the issue too. 8GB is weak.

For sure.
Btw Retina/5K users get the best RT giu performance in native resolution mode.

8gb is almost a no-go for photo processing nowadays.

OK, but that’s not an issue for me as I said.
I’m a Linux user IRL ;).

For sure.

It’s a pretty nice computer though. Definitely worth any ram upgrade. Sure i5 is old but it’s hexacore. Great for parallel heavy stuff in RT, and 3ghz is fine for the serial processing.

I use it for molecular spectroscopy ;).
