Hi Kicad gurus!
Hope somebody can help, because it hinders my project work.
- Removed all clues from V5, as described in other threads.
- Made a fresh installation on a new (German) MacBookPro M2 PRO from old MAC with kicad 5.
- Starting kicad.app (project explorer) opens up correctly, but the following programs cannot be started from here and ended with an error dialog (see below):
eeschema.app, pcbnew.app footprint editor.
But all others apps (e.g. symbol editor) can be opened from here!
eeschema.app, pcbnew.app footprint editor can be started correctly by direct click on it in the content folder! SO no problem with the apps itself!
When clicking directly on the aliases for these programs (e.g. eeschema.app) in KiCad folder, dialog appears to choose a program to open, so seems alias do not work from installation!
So I guessed aliases are corrupted and opened content of kicad.app (package) and generate new aliases of the generic (e.g.) eeschema.app and copied it to upper folder in parallel to Kicad.app.
Now a click on alias opens up eeschema correctly, but still Kicad.app is not able to open this program.
When clicking on icon inside kicad.app for schematic editor, thiseError message appears (similar to the other non startable apps, same before I changed aliases):
15:35:26: Unhandled exception class: N8pybind1117error_already_setE what: OSError: [Errno 34] Result too large: ‘/private/var/folders/dg/qpk2170950s6vv0gnncbvhqr0000gn/T/AppTranslocation/8C98A452-EB8D-4AA8-9A21-741E7AAD35B4/d’

15:35:26: Fehler beim Laden des Editors.

Same behaviour remains even after repeating new installation of V7!
Seems, that kicad.app uses wrong references to these apps.
I am now at the end of my ideas and need help!
UPDATE:
Problem solved!
- opened terminal.app
t- ype… xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app
- Now KiCad.app works as ecxpected!
