Help with Error

[wazzamagoo]

Hi,

I have installed Hax with FLIC, and bonded a Flic. I have downloaded two applescripts to the desktop. One for VLC pause and one for VLC fullscreen. Both scripts are able to be executed in Script editor, however when I press the FLIC I get a dialog saying File at path is not executable: /Users/Warren/Desktop/VLC_Pause.scpt
Do I need to alter the file location? or do I need to change permissions somewhere?

Cheers,

Warren

Hello, The problem is that the file you have created does not have excecute permission. If you download the files from this directory directly then they should work because those files already have the correct permission. Nevertheless, if you wish to set the permission manually on your file then you can do the following:

1. Open the Terminal application.
2. Go to the directory where the file is located. (cd /Users/Warren/Desktop)
3. Change the permission on the file using chmod. (chmod +x VLC_Pause.scpt)

Let me know if that works!

I did that, now I get a ”File at path did not contain a shebang” error. The Shebang exists, and is the first line of code.

Anyone have any insight on how to solve this one?

If you get the error "File at path did not contain a shebang" then that simply means that the first line does not contain a shebang. Perhaps it is an issue with the script editor or something, I don't know. Try opening the script in a different code editor and see if it looks good.

To rule things out, please try and download one of my scripts directly (vlc-Fullscreen.AppleScript for example) and see if the same problem happens there.

Hi Anton,

Thanks for your help, unfortunately when I download your scripts and do a CHMOD +x on them the shebang problem still exists. Which editor are you using?

Did you ever figure out what the issue was here, Wazzamagoo? I have the same problem and have a shebang in my AppleScript on the first line.
