Crashes on launch: Tiger incompatibility?

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

I tried launching both 2.0.0b and the older 1.3.1, and each launches for a moment and then dies. I'm thinking it probably needs a tweak for Tiger, but it's been a while since it got an update so I'm not holding my breath. (I'd love to be surprised though!)

Crashes on launch: Tiger incompatibility? - pajko

I've managed to fix Cellulo on Tiger!!! (10.4.3)
Launch Finder
Locate Cellulo.app,
Select "Show Package Contents"
Open the "Contents" folder
Open the "Resources" folder
Open folder "English.lproj" or "French.lproj", according to your language settings
Edit all of the HTML files, and replace their contents to just a simple <html></html>

One (or all?) of them has invalid attibutes or something, and Cocoa's HTML parser chokes on the bad ones. I didn't bother finding the exact bug, this fix surely does everything :)

If you want see the bug yourself:
Make sure you've XCode installed
Launch Terminal.app
at the prompt, enter: gdb /Applications/Cellulo.app/Contents/MacOS/Cellulo
at the gdb prompt, enter: run
when the execution stops and you get back gdb's prompt, enter: bt
Now you see an "execution flow" from bottom to top. At the top you can see some attribute-thingies, and below them some HTML-thingies, so I thought maybe it's a HTML problem and I was right.
