I used to run amule on my imac, and I never had any big problems.
Yesterday, I updated both mac os (10.4.3, by the way, that fixed "stuck connection" pb) and Amule (CVS rev.5448). Download is fine, but when I launch previews via VLC, this message appears :

"../wxWidgets/src/Mac/corefoundation/utilsexc_base.cpp(100):
assert "cfurlCurrentFile" failed.
Do you want to stop the program ?
You can also choose (cancel) to supress further warnings.

Whatever I clic : "no", "cancel" or "yes", Amule crashes...

Is it just me or..?    ?(

Ugh.  Crud.  It's a bug in wxWidgets.  It can't cope with files that have spaces in their paths.  Unfortunately, the new location of the aMule configuration directory on the Mac ("~/Library/Application Support/aMule") has a space in it.  I'll try to get a fix in place for the next release.  In the meantime, here's a workaround: change the location of your Temp directory to a path with no spaces.  See this post for instructions for changing your Temp directory location safely.

Uhmmm... well, thanks dude.
But it seems that doesn't work. By the way, which one is the right directory :

"Home - .amule"
or
"Home - Librairy - Application Support - amule" ?

I moved the files into another folder ( "new1" ) but when restart amule, it keeps sayin' "this is the 1st time you run amule blabla" and creates a new virgin amule Temp folder ! Also, I changed preferences, redirecting to the current downloads folder ( "new1" ) but it doesn't boot...

I wish I was Jef Raskin.

Oh... I was thinking, should I remove the new directory from the "App Support" location. I mean, THIS is the folder with a space in its name right ?

So, for example : "Home - NewWorkingLovelyAmuleFolder"

You can't change the location that aMule uses for its configuration directory.  I was suggesting that you change the location of the Temp directory, which may be changed using aMule's preferences.  I even gave you a nice link to a post with directions.

OK, so I see that the post I referred you to was based on the old behavior of aMule and so references "~/.aMule".  In the last couple of months, aMule has been changed to use "~/Library/Application Support/aMule" for its configuration directory.  So, keep that in mind when reading the post I linked to.

Also, I was directing you to just the specific post, not the whole thread.  If you read the surrounding thread, it will probably just be confusing.

Gosh.... whata silly-Duck.

Of course.... just the "Temp" folder. It was soooo easy though.
The usual "joys of computing" routine.

So, the wxWidgets folks finally committed the fix for this bug.  So, wx-cvs should now work.  I expect that the next Mac aMule binary that lionel77 builds will incorporate the fix.

Too bad that they broke compilation at the same time...

I was going to post a new binary before I leave on Tuesday, but now it looks like I won't have enough time to test even if they fix their CVS soon.
So you can expect a new binary some time after Sunday.
