Veusz in OS X Mountain Lion

Almost everything works fine. There would be no critical problem to use Veusz in OS X Mountain Lion. Current(<2013-11-11 Mon>) version is 1.18. You can download Veusz OS X binary via the following link.

Veusz in OS X Mavericks

It is working but annoying as well.

Problem

Opening a .vsz file directly with Veusz in Finder, Quicksilver, or a launcher is not properly functional. For example, when you directly open a .vsz file having a few linked data, Veusz launches with an empty sheet. It is not definitely caused by updating procedure to OS X Mavericks. Simply Veusz(v1.18) has an unsolved bug in OS X Mavericks. Fortunately(?), a .vsz file itself you have worked or been working has no problem, because you can see that correctly written scripts in that file via an editor like Aquamacs.

Solution

The only way I have found is simple but requires one more step.

1. Launch Veusz.app
2. ⌘O to open a .vsz file through Veusz.app

That's all. Don't directly open a .vsz file in Finder. Open Veusz.app first, then open(⌘O) a file you want to use through Veusz.app.

Update(<2013-11-15 Fri>): The bug is gone in the beta-version of Veusz(veusz-1.18.999-AppleOSX.dmg). Don't be confused that there are three nines not two in the name of file.

• Go to the page for downloading Veusz beta
• Direct link for veusz-1.18.999-AppleOSX.dmg
