Open files failing on Mac OS 12 Beta

[Gubbledenut]

K40 Whisperer opens fine, but when I try to open a file I get window ,

"The operation file open failed"
Seems like a realtivly simple file access issue?
Thanks

Hi Gubbledenut,

What macOS version are you running?

Gidday Ricardo, I’m stupidly running the next Mac OS 12 beta... it's only the second app that doesn't work in it..I am getting around it running k40 in a windows emulation on fusion. Thanks David

Alright,

I don't have any machines running macOS 12 beta, I'll set a VM and see if I can reproduce the problem.

Have a nice day

I've been unable to create and boot a macOS 12 Beta VM. I'll try a few more things but if it doesn't work I'll have to wait until it comes out of beta and I can install it and boot.

Thanks for trying, I will keep trying each time a new beta version comes out...currently it's working fine in vmware fusion win10 ....meerkat works, but it's too much, far prefer whisperer. David

Same issue here.... "The open file operation failed to connect to the open and save panel service."
Running "macOS Monterey version 12.0.1 (21A559)"

I gave the application Full Disc access in system preferences, but to no avail....

After pressing 'OK' the file open window gets closed and I'm left without an option to load a file.

Just tested the two previous releases as well. They also give this same problem.
So It's probably indeed a macOS 12.x.x compatibility problem...

Now that macOS Monterrey is out of beta I'll try again to run it inside a VM and see if I can make a build that fixes it. El 28 de octubre de 2021 10:34:17 CEST, tychop ***@***.***> escribió:

Thank you, I have reported it to Apple feedback as well during the beta testing.

Alright, I managed to install macOS 12 Monterrey on Parallels and do some tests.

I installed all the build tools and tried to make a build. After some fighting with pyenv and zsh I managed to complete the build. However, the problem still happens.

I've been looking around and found this issue: corpnewt/ProperTree#111

The problems, like usual, come from tkinter. I'll try later to build using the Python version recommended in that issue.

[rsre]

I managed to install that Python version and complete a build that opens files on macOS Monterrey.

For some reason the style of the buttons changes, but the file opening operation works.

When I have some more time I'll make some more tests and then a release for you guys.

[rsre]

Finally decided just to throw the build here in case any of you wants to give it a try.

You can find it here: https://github.com/rsre/K40-Whisperer-macOS/releases/tag/v0.58.B

It seems to be working on Monterrey with all the updates as well as on Mojave.

Looks like it's working.
Thanks!

[rsre]

Awesome! I'll close this issue then.

Enjoy it :)

Legend, thank you
