prusacontrol in drivers 2.1.6 does not start in osx

Hi guys,

I just downloaded de 2.1.6. drivers and although slic3r works, prusacontrol does not start on osx.

I do not get to the security question to allow the software to run, it just bounces several times in the dock and then stops. (no "allow anyway" option)

as said the other software works in the 2.1.6 driver set.

Pascal, I can confirm. Looks like they didn't sign the app / signed incorrectly when it was built. I'm seeing Mac OS Error: -67062 in the console log at lot when attempting to launch app.

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7705551

This is a red herring caused by the app dying on launch. Solution below.

Fix found:
This came from the a recent github issue:
https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaControl/issues/92

Instead of copying over the right JSON, the 'data' directory now looks to be an ASCII file with a reference value in it instead of a symlink to the named location.

The fix is to dig into the
prusa3d_mac_2_1_6/PrusaControl.app/Contents/MacOS/
directory and move aside the data file and create a symlink
> cp data data.bak
> ln -s ../Resources/data

At which point, I was able to launch the app just fine from Finder.
I will file a bug on GitHub for them to fix it.
