Apps sometimes fail to launch due to "missing executable"

[dmarmor]

Hi @dmarmor my mac crashed again today and all apps that were open at that moment didn't start after rebooting: starting them actually started my default chrome. To clarify: i started the from the dock. To get them into the dock o usually start them via Spotlight (t be correct: mostly using Alfred) and the drag the icon from the running app into the dock place i want (from the right side of the dock to the left part) - this way the dock item links to the app in EpichromeEngines.noindex.

Thanks to your tipp: i even didn't have to delete the app from EpichromeEngines.noindex but just had to start the app direct from the /Applications directory and then they started again. Only the icon had to be fixed.

It was not exactly the same behavior as last time (issue #214). Last time i had to some point this dialog box:

Next time i will to save the log file (~/Library/Application Support/Epichrome/Apps/<AppID>/epichrome_app_log.txt) before restarting the apps

Hi @talleux, I'm moving this discussion from issue #202 to here, as this is separate from the tab issue.

Here's Epichrome 2.3.2b2, a beta with an attempt to fix this problem. It does a bunch more checking and retrying when it encounters the missing executable error from /usr/bin/open.

Please let me know if it helps with the apps that were failing!

Version 2.3.2 is released with my attempt to fix this problem. I'll leave the issue open for a little while in case anybody experiences this problem again. Please let me know if you do!
