    Bug Description

    For SCMR version 8, could a new shortcut for MAC OS be created in the file section ?

    The existing one (from version 7) does not work (since it is not complete) and creating a brand one new on Mac OS despite excellent explanations of Matt_New_ below is painful and complex.

    Thx for the team.

    here's a correct "shortcut" command to run SCMR on macOS:
    ```

    /Applications/StarCraft\ II/Support/SC2Switcher.app -run "/Applications/StarCraft II/Maps/Starcraft Mass Recall/SCMR Campaign Launcher.SC2Map" -displaymode 2

    ```

    1. Move files as described in the manual installation guide

    2. run the command above using Terminal.app
    3. SCMR starts.

    you can create a startup.command file and paste the command above, so that you can use this file as a shortcut.

    Unfortunately, due to macOS Quarantine design, it's not possible to serve the launcher as .command file, so you'll need to create it yourself.

    PS

    > the launcher from "Files" doesn't work as expected right now, because it's just an alias to SC2Switcher.app and it doesn't pass command params (-run ...)

    I found those instructions on a forum and this is working :

    https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/303166-starcraft-mass-recall-sc1-campaigns-on-sc2-thread?page=85

     

    t took me a little time to get Mass Recall working on Mac OS X - I couldn't find the shortcut .zip file named 'Starcraft Mass Recall - MAC' in the download packages. In case there are others who have the same issue, I'll share the approach to launching the campaign which worked for me.

    Once the mods and maps are unpacked, open up Terminal and (copy/paste) the following command:

    /Applications/StarCraft\ II/Support/SC2Switcher.app/Contents/MacOS/SC2Switcher /Applications/StarCraft\ II/Maps/Starcraft\ Mass\ Recall/SCMR\ Campaign\ Launcher.SC2Map; exit;

    This will tell the SC2Switcher executable to run the SCMR Campaign Launcher. Hope it helps!
     
    I do not want to use the terminal each time, so I created a shortcut. It works but I cannot use any specific icon on it, anyway it works.
     
    Thx
