Title: Doesn't start on OSX 10.7.3, iMac 2011

Botanicula doesn't launch on my mid-2011 iMac fully updated with latest Flash player. Icon bounces in Dock for a while and then just sits there indefinitely (I am not keeping the icon in Dock, it just hangs there). I have checked Console but haven't found anything related to Botanicula.

E-mail the developers (support at amanitadesign dot com) and let them know about the problem.

hi, please try to download the game again - directly on your mac, unzip there and launch.

I have done that of course... no dice.

It's some kind of permissions problem that can NOT be solved by Disk Utility and does not pertain to Botanicula specifically. It's an account issue.

It can be solved by running BatChmod http://www.lagentesoft.com/batchmod/index.html, entering 755 octal permissions and ticking "Unlock", "Clear xattrs" and "Apply to enclosed folders and files". App runs then just fine. This applies to any app that refuses to run in this manner.

Hello Stooovie,

I´m trying it running BatChmod, but where is the 755 octal permission?, I don´t find it.

Thanks
