Mac v5.1.0.1 new install

#1 Post by Pars » 31 Jan 2025, 18:03

Hi,
I had been using older versions of DipTrace (not on this computer; M1 iMac). I installed v5.1.0.1 on this computer. For some reason, I cannot navigate anywhere.The Save In pulldown is blank. The Browse to Desktop does nothing. It appears that the app doesn't know the correct paths. I used the terminal command provided to get the app to open (also had to go to System Setting/Security to allow Wine to run. App starts up now, but kind of stuck here as I was trying to create a new library.

TIA for any assistance.
Chris

We could reproduce the issue on Intel based Mac system at the first start only, further starts are OK. According to you have M1 Mac, please make sure the system has Rosetta 2 translator. Then start DipTrace and try how it works. If bad, uninstall DipTrace and install it again according to installation guide from our web site.
Here is the instruction how to install Rosetta 2: https://osxdaily.com/2020/12/04/how-ins ... licon-mac/

It sounds like DipTrace isn't recognizing system paths properly, likely due to Wine configurations on macOS. Try checking Wine's file system mapping by running winecfg in Terminal and ensuring the correct directories are assigned under the Drives tab. Also, verify that DipTrace has the necessary permissions under System Settings > Privacy & Security. If the issue persists, launching DipTrace directly from Terminal with WINEDEBUG=+file wine DipTrace.exe might provide more insight into missing paths.
