EastWest Play app DOES work as Standalone in 10.9, how-to

Post by papageno »

I took a big leak (sorry, leap) and installed OS 10.9 over 10.8.5 as an update. I am currently between projects so I could afford that (I have clones and backups of my 10.8.5... just in case)

Tested with MacOS 10.9, Play app. ver. 4.0.23 (and 4.0.18)
PLAY app works perfectly, it is a bit tricky to open it, see the instruction below:

First of all, trying to open Play app in East West folder, which is in Applications folder of the computer gives a weird error: Where is AppleScript Runner?
That led me to an idea that the actual Play.app is somewhere else and in Applications folder resides a script (EWQL Symphonic Orchestra.app in my case).

The actual play app resides here:
/Library/Application Support/East West/Play.app
NB! This is Library folder on the top level of HD, and NOT in your user folder.
You can make an alias of Play app and place it wherever you like to avoid navigating every time you want to open a standalone of PLAY.

PS.
The script that is inside Play app script in Applications folder, contains the following line:

Code: Select all

/Applications/East\ West/EWQL\ Symphonic\ Orchestra.app/Contents/MacOS/symphonicorchestra.script ; exit;
Running this line in Terminal.app opens Play.app as standalone also.
