Unfortunately this means that if a user moves OpenLP out of the Applications directory, macOS will create these silly ._* files, and then OpenLP chokes on them when trying to find its plugins. To work around macOS's ridiculous behaviour, we simply need to make sure we exclude files starting with "._" when searching for plugins. See the original bug report below: Version: {'version': '2.4.6', 'full': '2.4.6', 'build': None} --- Details of the Exception. --- Hi, I have a need to keep some applications on the USB sticlk, so I moved entire OpenLP folder from /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/ to /Volumes/KINGSTONE64/Applications/ The trick above works fine to other applications like Evenote, Gimp, Nozbe, Google Earth, etc... while OpenLP won't start after that. Even OpenSong starts propelry after move to USB stick. Thank you in advance for the correction, I would appreciate for the patch or woraround as soon as possible.
