tedchoward / frontier Goto Github PK

Hi Ted,

What database file does the app require?

I've never used Frontier, but was curious to try it. I'm running Mavericks.

The app runs, but asks me to 'select a database file'. I don't seem to be able to do anything besides that, and I'm not sure what kind of database file I need to give the app, to get further.

regards,

David.

Saw Dave’s post today about his desire to port to Linux. I do not know C or C++, but would be happy to help in the event a port is feasible in Ruby, Node, or Python. My experience is in web development, but I understand UI frameworks for Ruby and Python are full-featured.

If a port to the web is possible, that would make it cross-platform and maintainable for quite a while.

I have not used Frontier, I do not know the full feature set, nor the architecture. I do agree with the value of making it easier for the average user to customize their software.

I’d like to talk about ways I can help.

Because this is just a 32-bit app, there is no way to run it in Catalina or later macOS releases without 32-bit support.

I am looking at OPML Editor v10.1b21for OS X (my OS X version is El Capitan). Once I launch OPML I the File Open Dialog, but there is no file to open. Once I close the File Open Dialog there is not much I can do. File -> New does not do anything, there is no window to enter anything, and the only thing I can do is Quit the application. That is also true for all the other version of OPML that I tried.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

For some reason, the "Full Distribution" download is unable to find opml.root.

Steps:

• Download OPML-full-distribution.dmg
• Double-click OPML-full-distribution.dmg
• Drag OPML folder to /Applications
• Double-click /Applications/OPML.app

Expected behavior:

• OPML editor launches and starts working

Actual behavior:

Workaround (launch from terminal):

• Launch Terminal.app
• type cd and drag the /Applications/OPML folder to the terminal window
• type ./OPML.app/Contents/MacOS/OPML
• Press return

I don't know why he workaround works and double-clicking the app bundle doesn't.

FWIW: The release works fine on my machine until I upload to Github. The files I download from Github have this problem.

Hi, this application does not work,
it just keeps asking to "select a database file" on startup,
I don't get to the OPML editor.
Mac OS High Sierra

Hi Ted,

Seems to be running fine on El Capitan. I just don't know what to do, exactly.

On first run it asks me to select a database file. It seems to need one - I can't create a new document, if I just 'cancel'.

What is the database file, how do I select one that will let me progress?

Cheers,

David.

A big ask but anyone more capable than me able to get this running on El Capitan or, better, Sierra?

32 Bit apps will no longer run on newer OSX/macOS versions, as the 32 bit RunTime is deprecated. Getting the "not optimized" warning on launch. You probably know this, but login issue.
