Unable to open after TimeMachine file transfer
ftagliaca opened this issue · comments
I just had to format my SSD and reinstall everything via TimeMachine but for some reason, Scroll reverser is no longer working. I have given it permission for both accessibility and Input Monitoring, however, the app would simply not open. I am not sure if it is hidden, but I could not find a way to unhide it.
Same issue here (10.15.2).
Scroll Reverser does not seems to be running, and opening it manually doesn't do anything.
Permissions are correctly granted in System Preferences.
I just did a migration to a new laptop, not from Time Machine but from target disk mode. I can see crash logs for Scroll Reverser in the console.
Here's a snippet - given other odd issues I've had since booting up, I think there may be some bugs in the various Privacy permissions when restoring from a backup. I'm going to try uninstalling and rebooting to see if that clears things up.
(Also, missing this utility is reminding me of how useful it is!)

I pulled down and built from master, and ScrollReverser no longer crashes, but it also isn't correctly detecting that I've given it the input monitoring permission. To make sure it was the right path for the app I removed the one I had in /Applications and dragged the built one in.
Seeing the last commit was related to the new UI, I checked out 6fa0369 and get a crash that looks pretty similar to the above at https://github.com/pilotmoon/Scroll-Reverser/blame/6fa036906bc10fce2614120fb3d8e82764928be7/MouseTap.m#L278
Still, this is mind-boggling that Scroll Reverser worked perfectly on my prior laptop and is crashing here. I'm now wondering if Catalina has different privacy behaviour for apps that existed on disk during an upgrade, versus those that are "new" like those from a migration install or time machine restore would.
Killing the app, removing it from all permissions in System Preferences, restarting it and re-adding permissions have fixed the issue for me. Although I can't figure out how to open settings.
That worked for me, though I also rebooted for good measure. The current master appears to be working fine, at least for clean installs.

I had the same issue, caused by migration to another Mac via Target Disk Mode.
I followed the steps from this comment which was revoking all permissions and launching the app, then adding the permissions back had solved the problem and allowed the app launch without silently crashing.

This worked for me but I literally had to remove the version transferred from the Backup and re-download it here from Github and then add back the missing reported permissions.
God I'm just so glad I got it working 😅
Hi everyone, I'm closing this old issue to tidy up. The latest Scroll Reverser v1.8 now doesn't crash when it doesn't have permissions, and instead displays a helpful UI to tell you to enable permissions.
