Hello All,

I downloaded the latest Mac Update, 10.15 Catalina, and then Coot wouldn’t open 
on my computer.

Phenix opened as usual.  I use the GUI, and the button that says “Open in COOT” 
was not greyed out, but would not launch the window.  When I tried to open it 
directly from Finder, it also failed to open.  The cartoon coot appeared on my 
recently opened section of my bottom-of-screen toolbar, but nothing happened.

Next I downloaded the latest CCP4-7.0.077, and followed the instructions to 
remove the extended attributes:
ATTENTION: If you are planning to install CCP4 from a tarball on Mac OS X 
version 10.13 or later (10.12 was not tested), you will have to remove extended 
attributes from the tar-gz-file before unpacking it, otherwise the app icons 
will not be functional (and you will be able to launch the CCP4 apps including 
ccp4i and ccp4i2 from the command line only). The extended attributes can be 
removed from the file _file_ using the command "xattr -c _file_". For example: 
xattr -c ccp4-7.0.065-macosx64.tar.gz

But when I try to open CCP4, I get this message:

Ccp4 cannot be opened because of a problem.

Check with the developer to make sure ccp4 works with this version of macOS. 
You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available 
updates for the application and macOS.

Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.

And when I try to open Coot from the Finder, I again just see the icon in my 
recently opened section of my bottom-of-screen toolbar, but it doesn’t open.

Any advice?

Many thanks,
Rachel
