Choregraphe – The application “Finder” does not have permission to open “(null)”
Running Choregraphe 2.8.8 on MacOS 15
| If you see a dialog box that states : The application “Finder” does not have permission to open “(null)” please follow the workaround below : |  |
| In Finder, locate your Choregraphe application that was extracted from the Choregraphe-2.8.8-mac-standalone.zip | |
| Open up the Terminal app. | |
| Drag the Choregraphe icon into the Terminal. You should see text appear pointing to it’s path. The text should be something like: /Users/username/Downloads/Choregraphe\ 2.8.8/Choregraphe.app | |
| Add /Contents/MacOS/choregraphe to this path, so that it looks something like this (note that there may have been a space after “Choregraphe.app” which you need to first delete): /Users/username/Downloads/Choregraphe\ 2.8.8/Choregraphe.app/Contents/MacOS/choregraphe | |
| Press the ENTER key. Mac OS will take some time to verify it, and raise a dialog box with “”Choregraphe” Not Opened.” Click Done on this dialog box. |  |
| Now open up Privacy & Security section of System Settings. | |
| Scroll down to find “Choregraphe” was blocked to protect your mac. Click Open Anyway. |  |
| Now go back to the terminal. Press the Up arrow key to bring back the previous command, and execute it again. The command should be something like: /Users/username/Downloads/Choregraphe\ 2.8.8/Choregraphe.app/Contents/MacOS/choregraphe | |
| MacOS will bring up a dialog box to Open “Choregraphe”?. Click on Open Anyway. |  |
| Choregraphe should be able to start now. | ||
 | —> To start Choregraphe in the future, you must continue to use the terminal command ! <— |  |
| If you see a dialog box that states The 3D view of Choregraphe has crashed, then please select Try once without the 3D. | ||
