The Mac OS X Editor Installer (0.9.39) installs the preset folder as follows
~/Library/Application Support/Moog Music Inc./ (admin/admin/world 777)
~/Library/Application Support/Moog Music Inc./Sub 37/ (admin/admin/world 775)
Which will prevent the Editor from working properly when executed by an unprivileged (non-admin) user. The proper permissions for folders in a user folder are (user/staff/world 755 or 750 or 700) depending on the desired visibility to other users. In order to get the Editor working, I had to manually change the folder permissions of ~/Library/Application Support/Moog Music Inc./ and all contained files to (user/staff/world 755).
The other problem with the installation location and permissions is that the content of the Sub 37 folder contains the Factory Presets, which are installed to the current user’s Library folder instead of the system’s library folder /Library/Application Support/… where they would be accessible by all users.
My findings are indeed indentical to Mike’s. His posts are very detailed. The installer does not set permissions properly, which only shows up if working with non-privileged user. Please have the developers look into this. You might also consider checking Mac OS X installers for your other products.
Hi, Gil. I apologize for my cranky post above. It was at the end of a frustrating day, and I took it out on you guys. I shouldn’t have done that, and besides, you guys don’t deserve that. Things will turn out however they turn out. Today is more of a zen day so far, as you can see .
