Description George Machitidze 2014-08-06 13:41:45 UTC

I am unable to launch RemoteViewer 0.5.7 for Mac OS X on Mavericks 10.9.4 if language is set to non-US. It's not effective for all languages, but for example with my native language (ka_GE) it didn't work. RemoteViewer works fine with other ones or when launched via root user.

easy to reproduce: just set your language options to "Georgian" as preffered an Georgia as region. Logout. Login. Then run:


when launched from user with ka_GE locale and preferences for Georgia:
bash-4.3$ /Applications/RemoteViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/RemoteViewer Downloads/console.vv
2014-08-06 17:40:32.052 defaults[1617:507]
The domain/default pair of (.GlobalPreferences, AppleCollationOrder) does not exist
/Applications/RemoteViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/RemoteViewer: line 79: test: argument expected
Segmentation fault: 11
bash-4.3$



when launched as root:
giomacbook:~ root# /Applications/RemoteViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/RemoteViewer /Users/giomac/Downloads/console.vv
2014-08-06 17:33:14.441 defaults[1558:507]
