Launch Mac Apps with "Execute External Program" action

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    Hi, is there a way to launch a mac app using the "execute external program" action?

    I built a simple app that takes the contents of an edit box, and passes that into the action.

    Works fine on windows (tried passing in c:\windows\notepad.exe), but when I try something similar on the mac, nothing happens ("open /Applications/Chess.app")

    Is this a permissions issue, or maybe a path thing?

    This is related to porting over an emulator frontend that I had written for windows. I can run everything fine on the mac in the terminal, but getting the mmf app to execute the same commands doesn't seem to be working.

    Anybody have any experience launching apps on the mac with the java runtime? Thanks!

    yeah, since I was launching the app from the Applications directory (not in a user directory), /Applications/Chess.app should have worked as a direct path to the app. I'll keep looking into it, though. Thanks for responding, and thanks for all your hard work on Multimedia Fusion (and Klick n Play before that) :)
