BOOLR Can't create new board on mac

Menu opens up when I launch and I press 'new board'. I then type "testboard" and click "Create", but nothing happens. This is in version 1.0.3

Same for me. I also tried doing the ctrl-click tip to open a sandbox board. Nothing.

Yes, very strange! I heard that a couple of times before and I have no idea why. Deleting the folder and downloading it again helps most of the time..

This happens because the .app packaging/sandboxing on macOS does not allow editing of the contents (which the application tries to do by saving a file for your board). For some reason once you drop it into your Applications directory something about paths or sandboxing changes and it will work.

This is a known limitation. The workaround is to only write files to app.getPath('appData') (i.e. the code needs to change)

I've also been having this problem, and I moved the application into the Applications directory, but it still won't let me create a new board. Can someone elaborate on how to fix this? Thanks!

After extracting, open the package contents of Boolr application, there you will find a MacOS folder which contains an unix executable file open it, it will run
