Missing interpreter

[sjogro]

Hello, after downloading release 1.1.2.1 and moving DropSpec.app to the Applications folder, opening the app (and/or dropping files on the app icon) results in this error:

Additionally I have tried running sudo spctl --master-disable in Terminal, which didn't change the outcome.
I have not ever run DropSpec before so the issue might not be related to this specific release, rather to my system.

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)
3,6 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
48 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
macOS Monterey 12.5.1

If there are some pre-setup instructions to resolve this I would love to learn them.

• I have installed php through homebrew: brew install php
• I have editted the .plist: nano /Applications/DropSpec.app/Contents/Resources/AppSettings.plist
• changed the line /usr/bin/php to /usr/local/opt/php
• Now DropSpec opens, but it seems to be stuck on opening, none of the buttons or menu's are responsive;

... anything else I can do?

Also running into this issue, would love to find out how to fix it.

Fixed this by editing AppSettings.plist to use the standard path for PHP when installed with Homebrew.

Replace the following:

<key>InterpreterPath</key>
	<string>/usr/bin/php</string>

with this:

<key>InterpreterPath</key>
	<string>/opt/homebrew/bin/php</string>

I also changed the behavior of the app upon launch so that it prompts for a file rather than use the current Finder directory by replacing false with true in this part of the .plist:

<key>PromptForFileOnLaunch</key>
	<true/>

Hope this helps anyone.
