  Are you at the same site as Ricardo that wrote to techsupport here?

  I presume you are working with Ricardo Gomes that I’ve been communicating with by email?

  can you run the following two commands in Terminal and return to me what is printed out?
  ls -ld /usr/discreet/sparks
  ls -ld /usr/discreet/sparks/*

  HI there,

  thanks for your help,

  I’ve run the commands and got the following lines:

  conspiracao-Filmess-Mac-Pro-2:~ smoke_mac$ ls -ld /usr/discreet/sparks/
  drwxrwxrwx 5 root wheel 170 Aug 26 17:05 /usr/discreet/sparks/

  conspiracao-Filmess-Mac-Pro-2:~ smoke_mac$ ls -ld /usr/discreet/sparks/*
  -rwxrwxrwx@ 1 smoke_mac staff 7863576 Apr 4 13:26 /usr/discreet/sparks/DesktopTwixtor.spark
  -rwxr-xr-x@ 1 smoke_mac staff 7863752 Apr 4 13:26 /usr/discreet/sparks/Twixtor.spark
  drwxrwxrwx 3 root wheel 102 Apr 2 19:26 /usr/discreet/sparks/links

  can you please set the permissions on Twixtor.spark to be read/writeable by everyone?

  that is, as root (or as an administrator), run
  chmod ugo+rwx /usr/discreet/sparks/Twixtor.spark

  Also, can you run
  ls -ld /usr/discreet
  ? (I presume that won’t tell me much)

  Also, if that doesn’t work, can you send me what is displayed in the system console when trying to load the Twixtor spark?

  Or send the log file in /usr/discreet/log
  You need to start flame from a shell to get message in console I think. (That is open a shell and type flame)

  Please disregard Pierre’s comment about starting “flame’. (yes I know you are running smoke!)

  Perhaps the log file you will need to send is
  /usr/discreet/log/ifffs.log

  And send us any other log files written to the disk today that are in /usr/discreet/log

  Also, open the Apple program Console, and send us any other error messages written to the console.

  We should take this offline, please write to us at tecsupport (at) revisionfx (dot) com.
