This app no longer opens in Mac OSX Mavericks :(

No longer works in Mavericks

With a google search I came up with a bug report related to this issue on Mozilla site: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=922590

The packaged xul runner seems to be the problem, if I run the Pencil app with the firefox binary it works fine. Execute this command in the terminal: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -app /Applications/Pencil.app/Contents/Resources/application.ini

So a workaround for now will be to change the last line in /Applications/Pencil.app/Contents/MacOS/start.sh

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -app "$CUR_DIR"/Resources/application.ini

I also have this issue, just upgraded to Mac OS X Mavericks, Pencil now crashes on start :/ Editing the last line in start.sh works for me too. Hopefully there will be a proper patch soon.

Thanks! The start.sh modification worked for me as well.

I tried the command above:

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -app /Applications/Pencil.app/Contents/Resources/application.ini

Everything was fine until I tried the "About" menu item. Nothing happened and I seemed stuck. Then I noticed the "about" dialog showed up at the bottom of the Pencil window! Same for any of the dialogs.

Mavericks related (I just download and started with Pencil today - the day after I upgraded to Mavericks)

So that's where those dialog boxes end up. I thought the program was crashing every time I did certain things like rename a page tab. Guess I'll be using Pencil in a VM until this gets fixed.

Thank you for the info! Just made the change to the last line of start.sh and now am able to work with Pencil.

Another workaround is to run the pencil Firefox extension:

using /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -app /Applications/Pencil.app/Contents/Resources/application.ini in terminal works for me. Thanks!

Thanks! The start.sh modification worked for me as well.

Fixed in 2.0.6.

Issue 599 has been merged into this issue.
