[Ipe-discuss] Ipe spontaneously downgrades

[Monique Teillaud]

Hi Otfried,

On a mac you cannot really launch an application from the command line.
Well, you can with "open -a", but then it just takes the soft that is 
installed in /Applications.

I did this:

 > sudo find / -name "ipe"
	and I found no executable

 > sudo find / -name "Ipe*"
/Applications/Ipe.app
find: /dev/fd/3: Not a directory
find: /dev/fd/4: Not a directory
/Volumes/Ipe-7.1.8
/Volumes/Ipe-7.1.8/Ipe.app

/Applications/Ipe.app was actually back to 7.1.5 again :(
and "find" did not find a trace of 7.1.5 anywhere

so I cleaned again
 > rm -rf Ipe.app/
	in /Applications
then
 > cp -r /Volumes/Ipe-7.1.8/Ipe.app .
	instead of sliding the icon with the mouse, just in case

wait and see
	Monique
