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.

• Go to the download page

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

Prologue

지난 Post에서 언급한 iBooks for mac의 모든 문제는 1.0.1로 판올림되면서 해결되었다. Mail.app에서 font 문제는 특정 서체에만 생기는 문제로써 그 서체만 다른 font로 바꾸어 주면 된다?!?(그래도 여전히 짜증난다.) 문제가 생겼던 font는 사람들이 잘 쓰지 않는 font (macappware에서 구매한 Brush 88/77 등)이므로 보통은 크게 걱정하지 않아도(?) 된다.

list of compatible applications

incompatible things

Quicksilver Cube-interface

동작을 안 하는 것은 아닌데, 회전 시 그래픽이 깨진다. 고쳐질까… 정말 오래 썼는데… Primer-interface로 갈아타야겠다.

Veusz

Veusz는 간단히 말해서 GUI Scientific Plotting Tool이다. Fortran이나 C 등으로 계산한 결과를 그래프로 만들 때 쓰는 프로그램인데, OS X Mavericks에서 문제가 심각하다. 프로그램이 실행이 안되거나 돌다가 충돌이 나는 것이 아니라, 원래 가지고 있던 .vsz 파일들을 Veusz로 부르면 link 되어 있던 data가 안 불러진다!!! VirtualBox Debian GNU/Linux에서 path만 바꾸어 부르면 잘 불러지는 것으로 보아, 단순히 Veusz(<2013-11-10 Sun>, v1.18)가 OS X Mavericks에서 동작하는데 문제가 있어 보인다.
