Exporting
Sep 6th, 2009, 12:43am
 
I am completely new to Processing, but eager to dive in and armed with the Learning Processing book.  Anyway, I've got a problem already (no surprise), but one that I think is not my doing.

I'm a composer and have Logic Express Academic, and am running Processing on my MBP DuoCore. When I hit "Export" (Logic is not running at the time), the Apple Loops Utility sub program of Logic Express opens up in response. I have NO IDEA what to do with that and can't figure why it should open at all.  I tried reinstalling Processing, but it still happens.

Any help, thoughts?

when i hit export (this is on linux) i get a file manager window opening pointing at the newly created directory. from there i just double click the index.html and can see the new code running in the browser.

am guessing it's trying to do the same on your mac but you've got a name clash or a file association problem somewhere.

what's the actual name of the process that starts, maybe that's a clue? (mine's nautilus, but i think it's more complicated than that as it needs to handle the multiple desktop managers in linux)

code does this:
Code:

public void openFolder(File file) throws Exception {
String launcher = Preferences.get("launcher");
...
}


so it's using the launcher property in your preferences.txt file (or whatever mac equivalent is. mine says gnome-open, which ties in with what i see)
