Hi coppelia,

It seems that is working fine after creating the file. I'm using the V-REP PRO EDU V3.3.2 rev3.

Thank you for your help.

Regards.

Code: Select all

xattr -c -r * 
or even better with

Code: Select all

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine *
(to only strip away the annoying attributes)

Make sure you run above from the console in the V-REP folder. This made the trick for Benno at least.
On our machines, we also have the same file attributes when downloading something from the internet, but we don't have any crashes, so the problem is also linked to some computer specific settings I guess.

Montana, can you confirm that above solves your problem too?

Cheers
I was having the same problem here but it's working perfectly now after typing that command inside V-REP's folder.
Thank you.

I don't understand the last the passage to solve the problem "model folder not found". Can you explain me exactly what I have to do with the code: xattr -c -r *? Thanks

You have to open a terminal, navigate to the V-REP folder, then type

Code: Select all

xattr -c -r *
or even better with

Code: Select all

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine *
(to only strip away the annoying attributes)

Hi, I am using Sierra 10.12 and V-REP PRO EDU V3.4.0 rev1. I found usrset.txt in my system. Also I get into vrep folder which is /Applications/vrep.app in my computer. And I run the both commands:

Code: Select all

 xattr -c -r *
and

Code: Select all

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine *
. They didn't work. I still don't have models. Please help me.

hmmm, not sure what else you could try. Have you tried to test this on your desktop? (simply unzip the package on the desktop, and try again with above command line input).

Cheers
