Bonjour,

J’ai téléchargé seamly2D pour macOS, impossible de l’ouvrir sur mon mac. je suis sur MacOS Big Sur version 11.1. En regardant dans le moniteur d’activité, seamly2D est indiqué comme “ne repond pas”.

Savez-vous si seamly2D est compatible avec mon OS? Si oui, pouvez-vous m’aider ?

Merci Kat

J’ai téléchargé et installé sur mon ancien mac qui a MacOS Mojave et ca marche ! Mais mon ancien Mac est appartient à ma société, je ne vais pas pouvoir le garder très longtemps, j’ai donc besoin de votre aide pour l’installer sur le nouveau avec MacOS Big Sur.

Merci d’avance pour votre aide ! Kat

I downloaded and installed it on my old mac with macOS Mojave, it’s working I can open it and use it. but My old mac belongs to my company, so I can’t keep it no much longer. I really need your help to make it work on MacOS Big Sur

Thank you in advance for your help Kat

Oh, dear! Kat. I’m hoping @Douglas or @slspencer will come by and advise you. I know that they are aware of a problem with Mac and that they’re battling to find someone who can test for them, since none of the admins on here work on Mac, so I think they will be really happy if you could help to get this problem sorted.

Thanks Grace. I discovered seamly today, tested it with a french step by step youtube video and I’m already addict I would be happy to help, as I need to give back my old mac to my company soon.

btw, the french user guide redirect to a 404 page on the steamly wiki https://static.miraheze.org/valentinaprojectwiki/f/fa/Seamly2D_Manual_-_French_A.pdf Do you know where I can find it ?

try this one

I’ll go see about fixing that link now.

ETA: Huge thanks for pointing that out! Un grand merci pour l’avoir signalé! The links on that page should now all be operational.

Pneumarian · January 19, 2021, 11:45pm

One more thing @Kat ,

GT: Encore une chose,

I assume you downloaded off the front page.

GT: Je suppose que vous avez téléchargé sur la première page.

Try this link that we think should hopefully work:

GT: Essayez ce lien qui, nous l’espérons, devrait fonctionner: https://github.com/FashionFreedom/Seamly2D/releases/tag/test-issue-%23381-2

(I believe you’ll want the .zip)/(Je crois que vous voudrez le .zip)

hi @Kat, The Seamly wiki has User Manuals on this page:

Kat · January 20, 2021, 7:37pm

Yes this one is working well thanks !

and about the download I already tried from seamly main page and from github, but both are not working

@slspencer @Douglas, do you have any information about installing seamly on Mac Big Sur ?

slspencer · January 20, 2021, 8:34pm

Hi @Kat, I’m working on the Big Sur fix right now

Douglas · January 20, 2021, 8:44pm

Sadly my only experience with Mac’s is using Mac Drive to be able to record to and transfer multi track audio recordings to / from a friend’s Mac laptop to my Windows machines.

slspencer · January 20, 2021, 9:37pm

Uh, the open source servers to download Qt for building Seamly on github are down. This will delay the Big Sur fix until the server problem is solved. See this article:

Many Thanks @slspencer. Let me know when you think I can try again download it and install it

slspencer · January 25, 2021, 6:21am

Here’s the latest, please try and let me know. If this doesn’t work we may need to hire someone familiar with this problem.

Kat · January 25, 2021, 12:08pm

Hi @slspencer

Thank you very much for your time and help on this

I just tried and for now :

Seamly2D
SeamlyME

I tried twice and same result both times

I guess that without seamlyME which manages measures, seamly2D cannot work properly or the measure feature would be difficult to use (even more for newbies as I am)

What do you think ?

Kat

Douglas · January 25, 2021, 5:32pm

Were the changes applied to both apps? There are separate main and mainwindow files for each app.

Kat · January 25, 2021, 6:35pm

Hi @Douglas,

Not sure to understand your question. I use the link @slspencer gave me and then I downloaded the zip file

I opened the file and launch the both tools, it seems that seamlyME does not answer (as it was we the previous version).

Did I follow the right process ? If not, please let me know

Thanks for your help

Kat

My bad… The question was directed to Susan. I took a quick look and saw the commits only applied to the Seamly2D app and didn’t include SeamlyMe… which I assumed is the cause of the red dot for SeamlyMe.

slspencer · January 26, 2021, 12:34am

This is fantastic feedback. The environment variable is set in Main.cpp in Seamly2D, not SeamlyME. I’ll go make another update! Was getting a bit discouraged…

Douglas · January 26, 2021, 11:55am

Well I was aware of the changes you were making in Seamly2D/main.cpp when the build was failing on me, and I saw the green check and red dot and put 2 and 2 together. Hope the next fix solves the issue.
