10.4: Another fix for non-launching PowerPC apps on Intel
I have an easier solution that doesn't require a separate Applescript for every Rosetta-run application:
10.4: Another fix for non-launching PowerPC apps on Intel
I have seen this problem where neither of those programs were installed.
APE
Unsanity said there's a bug in OS X that they need to work around to fix this issue. My guess would be that these errors are fairly rare until APE is installed (especially with ShapeShifter) at which point the issue becomes common.

10.4: Another fix for non-launching PowerPC apps on Intel
This is great! I called AppleCare on Sunday to try and get this very problem diagnosed. And, yes, I have Unsanity's APE and three haxies installed. I'll do the exlude-these-apps thing and see if all is well.

If I read the Unsanity post correctly they are saying that haxies suffer from the same problem as other Rosetta-dependent programs, not that APE is the source of the problem.

Unsanity ShapeShifter guy here. This issue is caused by a bug in OS X, but using APE-based haxies can greatly increase the frequency with which this bug is triggered, depending on which haxie is used. To repeat - this bug can occur without APE installed, but is more likely to occur with APE installed. And, unfortunately, the APE Exclude list doesn't help. The "sudo killall translated" terminal command is a valid work-around, but, of course, it's a pain to run that before every Rosetta launch. We are hard at work on a fix to APE to get the situation to the point that we're not exacerbating the issue. But currently, the situation I described above is the deal. This info is current as of APE version 2.0.2b1. Any version newer than that will almost certainly include a fix for this. |
