this is the first problem i found when i update to mavericks.

This is "fixable" with the firefox plugin (at last for me), so you can load Pencil.

But after loading pencil (firefox plugin) both versions 2.05 and 2.06 there is a problem described in the issue 603 opening folders to load or save a document. I can only load "recent" documents or open or save files in the default folder.

Just noticed that there is a Pencil-2.0.6-mac.tar.bz2 build which is now working for me :-)

lucky man =) it work for you opening a folder to load or save as a document?

Yes the desktop version "Pencil-2.0.6-mac.tar.bz2" from the "downloads" (http://code.google.com/p/evoluspencil/downloads/list) is working fine (Open, Save, SaveAs as all good).

I've seen the same problem in a xulrunner app I am working on, running on Mavericks. (CFHash(NULL) from XTSetAutoActivationSetting)

Pencil 2.0.6 runs fine on my Mavericks. Copying Pencil's xulrunner 25 into my app also fixed the problem for my app. But using xulrunner 25, 26, and 29 from Mozilla still had the crash.

I am puzzled why the Mozilla builds still have the problem. Clearly a xulrunner or OS X 10.9 problem, but it seems that Pencil developers have found a way around it?
