Mac client issue - ECSNorway - 02-28-2011
Having a spot of bother running the updater on the mac. I get an error "cannot update" a .pigg file, something else is using it, and the updater aborts.
Any ideas?

Exact error message:
"Cannot delete C:coh/piggs/bin.pigg some other program has it open. Aborting."

have you tried killing the file manually and hitting the 'check files' (or whatever it's called) button?

Yeah, and it did the same thing on fonts.pigg. So I renamed the folder and am letting the updater re-download the whole shebang.

Discovered the root of the problem: File ownership is held by the account I was in when I installed the program, not the user account I'm running it under. Le sigh. How to quickly change ownership of a bunch of files?

And issue is resolved, thanks to a quirk of cp.

two possible ways:
1) get info on the application, at the bottom there should be 'Sharing and Permissions', See if you can add your account to the list as 'Read & Write'.
if that doesn't work, crack open the command line.
2) Try:
cd to the directory you have the app in (this can be accomplished by typing "cd " and dragging the folder into the terminal window)
chown -R [your account name here] City of Heroes.app
You can find out your account name by typing "ls -l " and dragging any file you created/own into the terminal. The account name should be the 3rd thing listed.

I tried chown; unfortunately you have to be logged in (or sudo'ed) as root to do that.
cp ended up fixing the issue, since it doesn't preserve file ownership - the new copy belongs to the account that ran the copy.
So I just copied the app directory over to a new folder, swapped names, and ran it. Everything went fine from there.
