Alessandro Ratoci and I have worked on fixing these problems and a new version has been produced - for Wine on the Mac. He will give the link in another post, but I have some further work to do before releasing a public version 6.3.1. There is no new functionality anyway, just some different ways of copyihg files.

Thank you again Alessandro for your careful work in implementing Soundshaper on the MAC - it may be slower, but it works!

Thanks very much for these download links. All of the failing command-lines quoted involve Windows copy, so I'll need to revise this. (Actually I usually use CDP copysfx, so that could solve things). Certainly once I've set up your Wine version on the MAC, it will be easy to see what's going wrong. R.

I don't really understand the problem, but it so happens I've been trying to get your Wineskin version up and running on the MAC without success. I'll email you now and if you could help me get that going, I'd be very grateful. Then I think I should be able to answer your question and any other issues, because I'll have the same system as you to test things.

Dear Robert,
We have the same computer so it should work.
Here two versions, one with Wine

And another with the new version of wine called Kegworks:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kbQ2GMeS6_TNReeQsxWcUBpxNpz72m0Z&usp=drive_fs
Both versions have been extensively tested by my students on bot M1, M2 and old Intel Mac Machine
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kf9jEwxDrsj_y34dt1vIlNN7bSAHNFJS/view?usp=sharing
1) they all boot
2) they all fail using the preview function (failure upon rendering the chosen one)
3) they all fail copying cells
4) they all fail restoring saved patches (missing source file) and if you chose a new source file it does not rerun properly

I'm pretty sure it's a copy problem as it's what it seems to be in common to all the problems.
All the problems are 100% consistent and happens every time

Thank you for your precious help,
My students are pretty enthusiast about CDP...

Dear colleagues

I've started finally a full professorship position at the Conservatory of Piacenza, in Italy, teaching electroacoustic and audiovisual composition. Of course I introduced CDP/Soundshaper to my first year course and it's always astonishing to see the great response young people have when they face a non-standard DAW/Plugin centric tool.
I'm running WINE wrapped versions of Soundshaper because they all have Macs and everything goes fine beside two things:

1) when you use the useful "preview" function then the chosen file don't get rendered and is missing
Here is the error message:

C:\windows\system32>copy C:\CDPR8\Temp\~X_5.* C:\CDPR8\Temp\~A_4.*
Invalid name.

)
File not found.

2) when I reload the whole patch, the source vile A~0 for example, is always missing.

Thank you, rwdobson. The paste command and drag application technique seems to work in part, but then the SoundLoom icon bounces three times, then quits/crashes. Mystery to me!

Sorry, that is a common shorthand way of representing a not necessarily fixed path. It was not meant to be entered literally. If Soundloom has been copied to the main Applications folder, the path would be simply:

xattr -rc /Applications/soundloomE.app

or if it has been copied to the main cdpr8/_cdp folder in your home directory:

xattr -rc ~/cdpr8/_cdp/soundloomE.app

(the tilde character ~ is a standard shell shorthand for your home directory. It is very useful in this sort of situation so that we don't have to guess what your account name might be, and add to the general confusion. But to complete the picture by typing the path in full, lets say my account name is Carnamagos:

xattr -rc /Users/Carnamagos/cdpr8/_cdp/soundloomE.app

the other way to complete such a command, especially if the target app is several levels down, is to type the command (plus the space):

xattr -rc

and drag the icon of the app to the open Terminal window: the Mac will then add the full path to the command line. This works for any file or folder. Windows does much the same on a PC.

I hope that someone will still see and reply to this thread, to which I have been referred.

This command does not work for me. Here is what I get when I type it into the Terminal:

Last login: Mon Nov 18 16:13:13 on ttys000
[user name] ~ % xattr -rc /path/to/soundloomE.app
xattr: No such file: /path/to/soundloomE.app
[user name]~ %

It's there. Why can't the Terminal find it?

The problem is that my Terminal appears to be completely broken. It was telling me I needed to run a particular command to change to the zsh shell, but then, when I run that command, it tells me "command not found". I then entered the command into the Terminal settings, but then when I launched the Terminal, it requested a password to change to zsh, yet won't allow me to enter anything. What's more, it won't allow me to enter any other Terminal commands.

I realize that this is not a CDP problem. Trouble is, Apple technical support won't help with this, either. So, I suppose I am stuck!

Thank you, anyway.
