ok, i got Decode* to load as it showed up in the apple->system preferences->security and privacy, then choose allow.
after a few cycles of launching RMIR, dealing with the complaint, then quitting, rinse and repeat, i got it to allow me to allow the serial library.

now it seems to work error free. i can dl/ul from my remotes.

thank you barf!

Ah, I’ll do that. Now it makes sense to me that the script is looking at the extension to decide what ARG is set up.
I didn’t look/use your program too Much except to see that it ran. Personally I don’t mind the Mac mounted object model. It does make it explicit that it is more or less a self contained program.

I still think there’s an incompatibility with rmir and the latest 11.4 update. Rmir launched and ran correctly for the 2 updates before 11.4 and then failed after. The workdir being blank is odd.

Thanks again. Hopefully your script will help others who come after us.
Best,
Jeff

It appears as if the function RemoteMaster.getJarContainingFolder() is the culprit. It is unclear to me exactly why and exactly when this happens. I would rather call it a bug than an incompatibility... But, as shown in this thread, the work-around is easy: just set it manually with -h.
