JPEGmini not installed

[fmal]

I'm getting this error: "JPEGmini.app is not installed (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jpegmini/id498944723)" although i have the app installed in my Applications folder. It's not installed through App Store, though, maybe that's the issue?

Do you have "JPEGmini Lite" installed rather than the full version possibly?

Let's see, could you run ls /Applications | egrep '^(I|J|K)' in your Terminal and show me the output?

[fmal]

Sure, here's the output:

Image Capture.app
ImageAlpha.app
ImageOptim.app
JPEGmini.app
Kext Drop.app

Yes, I have the full version installed.

If you run osascript -e 'id of app "ImageOptim"' you should get net.pornel.ImageOptim for example.

What do you get if you run osascript -e 'id of app "JPEGmini"'?

Output after running osascript -e 'id of app "JPEGmini"':

com.icvt.JPEGmini-retail

Ahh, ok leave it with me. not seen a -retail on there before. thanks!

[fmal]

No problem, thanks in advance for fixing that.

[JamieMason]

fixed in 1.4.5

Are you going to support JPEGmini Lite.app?

[JamieMason]

I don't know if it's worth it, you can only optimise up to 20 photos per day with it (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jpegmini-lite/id525742250?mt=12)

In the latest version it fails to detect jpegMini again. I'm getting
/usr/local/share/npm/bin/imageOptimAppleScriptLib:4040:4073: execution error: Can’t get item 2 of {"has_app_installed"}. (-1728) /usr/local/share/npm/bin/imageOptim: line 324: [: JPEGmini.app: unary operator expected ✘ JPEGmini.app is not installed (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jpegmini/id498944723)
JPEGMini bundle id hasn't changed, so i'm not sure where's the issue. Could you look into that?
Thanks

[JamieMason]

thanks @fmal, looking now

[JamieMason]

Fixed in 1.6.14, sorry about that.

Another spanner in the works, from the JPEGMini FAQs:

I downloaded the Lite version of the app from the Mac App Store, and then purchased the Full version through an in-app purchase, but the software is still called “Lite”, and the Full version does not appear as purchased in the Mac App Store. Why does this happen?
The app name cannot be changed following an in-app purchase, so the name remains Lite even though the functionality is full. In this case, the full version does not appear as purchased in the Mac App Store since technically it is a different product, although functionality is exactly the same as the upgraded Lite version.

$ osascript -e 'id of app "JPEGmini Lite"'
com.icvt.JPEGminiLite

We'll need extra logic to handle this...

[JamieMason]

I had the same issue. I installed JPEGmini lite from the app store then did an in-app upgrade if I remember right.

After I saw that it was still -lite I went to JPEGmini (full) in the app store and bought that. In iTunes it showed two payments but seemed smart enough and only charged me once.

That said, I wouldn't feel confident enough to give that out as official advice. I added the strict check without much thought so we should be able to just check for either and allow it to continue - but yeah I'd be interested to see what the app itself does.

I'm getting the same error "JPEGmini is not installed (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jpegmini/id498944723)"

I bought the app on their website so I don't now if that's why I'm getting the error.

When running osascript -e 'id of app "JPEGmini"'

The response is:
