TGB 1.7.3 Beta 1? CleanDSO.command

#1 "Does not work" is vague. Can you be more specific?

#2 Hi Seth

I get the following error when I double click on the command:

[b] Open Command File[/b]

The .command file "(path) CleanDSO.command" could not open
most likely it is not executable.

When I move the CleanDSO.command file from the TGB 1.1.3 to the root folder of TGB 1.7.3, it works as expected.

I hope this helps

#3 Well it means exactly what it says. It's not set to be executable, which you're going to run into a lot with shell commands/scripts. To run it, you need to mark it as executable.

Open Terminal and type:

chmod u+x "/path/to/CleanDSO.command"

That will add (+) executable permissions (x) to the owning user (u) of the file, which is you. Then you'll be able to double click it.

#4 Really Seth - How many laypersons who have Macs should know this? I have been programming on the Mac for a long time and command scripts are something I rarely use.

The command should work for laypersons without them knowing anything about scripting....

Anyway thanks for the information. I hope GG writes up instructions on how to use CleanDSO.command.

#5 It's not easy to make sure it works out of the box. Permissions are voodoo. Lots of things set em, and lots of things wreck em.
