any other folder than the Desktop. I really don't want to drag this
thing out of the folder where I regularly keep it every time I use
(and I only use the latest versions to get into my bank's Bill Pay
area; normally I use TFF 22.0 because of its clean interface).</p>
<p>What in the world is going on, never experienced this kind of
problem with TFF or any other app before (I've had plenty that just
wouldn't launch at all, but none that would only launch from the
Desktop).</p>
<p>I did a "Get Info" on the 38.4.0 app and I didn't see anything
out of the ordinary in the Ownership & Permissions.</p>
<p>The good news is I can get into the bank's Bill Pay area with
38.4.0, it had just started blocking my v. 31.1.0 which worked for
the Bill Pay until today.</p>
<p>My OS: Tiger 10.4.11<br>
My machine: G4 PowerMac M8573LL<br>
(I'm pretty sure I have the correct variant -- 7450 "G4e" -- for my
processor.)</p></div>super70stag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/385271382015-11-23T05:28:50Z2015-11-23T05:28:50ZTFF 7450 38.4.0 will only launch from the Desktop<div><p>When you say refuses to launch, can you be more specific? If you
go to Applications > Utilities > Console.app, what appears
when you try to launch it? (Don't cut and paste everything that
appears there here, just what happens when you double click
it.)</p>
<p>Some odd permissions problems have been fixed by downloading a
fresh copy and unpacking that.</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/385271382015-11-23T15:57:49Z2015-11-23T15:57:52ZTFF 7450 38.4.0 will only launch from the Desktop<div><p>When I try to launch 38.4.0 from a folder other than the Desktop

<p>But it's doing fine when I launch it from the Desktop, I'm using
it to post this message AAMOF.</p>
<p>If we can't figure it out I guess I could live with it, like I
said I only fire the newer versions up when I need to use a fussy
area of my bank's site.</p>
<p>BTW, this is what happens in the Console when I successfully
launch TFF 38.4.0 from the Desktop, for what it's worth:</p>

<p>This means exactly what it says. Usually this is caused by a
faulty path, and is (obviously) a fatal error.</p>
<p>I'd start first with downloading and unzipping a fresh copy to
make sure something didn't get corrupted the first time. Make sure
you're using the built-in Archive Utility and not any third-party
ZIP tool.</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/385271382015-11-23T16:22:03Z2015-11-23T16:22:04ZTFF 7450 38.4.0 will only launch from the Desktop<div><p>Normally I use StuffIt to unzip but I did also use
BOMAArchiveHelper on the file after I read in here that a
third-party tool could be a source of problems. Didn't make any
difference.</p>
<p>Oh well, I'm getting tired of fooling with it.</p></div>super70stag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/385271382015-11-27T07:02:07Z2015-11-27T07:02:09ZTFF 7450 38.4.0 will only launch from the Desktop<div><p>For anyone who cares (maybe someone else will run into this
problem also), I figured a funky workaround. I made TFF invisible
on the Desktop and put its alias in the folder I usually keep it
in. It launches OK doing that.</p></div>super70s
