Problems with negfix8 and autolevels, BW-version works fine..

[GaneshQBNA]

Thank you for the tool, I was very excited to try it out. However I can not get it to work, I get the following error message:

When I try to use negfix8 and autolevel in the terminal I also get errors. The BW-shortcut works well though, I guess because it only uses ImageMagick.

Hope you can help!

Hey, let's see if we can get this working for you. Have you already tried the fix for the most common error people run into, that's at the bottom of the Installation instructions?

Important: If you get an error while trying to use the shortcut, one of the most common reasons this can be caused is a messed up $PATH. To fix this, open the Terminal and run this command:

echo "export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.zshrc

Close the Terminal and try the shortcut again, in most cases it will work now.

I'd try this first, and if it's still not working also check that Automator has full accessibility and disk permissions in System Preferences.

I already used that command (had a different error before) and Automator has all the permissions. In the meantime I found the reason for this:

Bei der Aktion „Shell-Skript ausführen“ ist ein Fehler aufgetreten: „/Users/ganeshkubina/.zshrc:export:1: not valid in this context: Fusion.app/Contents/Public:/Library/Apple/usr/bin

which was left from an old install of VMware-Fusion in the zshrc-file. I deleted that but the errors from below still remain and I get the same errors when using negfix-8 via Terminal.

Hold on, that /bin path seems suspicious. Why is it in the Fusion.app? Can you manually navigate to your usr/bin folder and confirm if you've put negfix and the other scripts in the right place?

Copy pasted from one of my YT comments:

Try to navigate there manually:

1. Go to the highest level, so that you see your "Macintosh HD" drive, and open it (You should see "Applications", "Library", "System" and "Users"
2. Press Cmd + Shift + period to show hidden files. Now you should see a bunch of extra folders pop up
3. Open the "usr" folder
4. Open the "local" folder
5. Open the "bin" folder

Like I said in my previous comment, the error about the Fusion.app is now solved. The app had left a command similar to your export PATH command in the same zshrc file. Negfix, Autocolor and Autolevels are in this path:

Finally fixed this issue, see #7 !
