OK, I've found the problem. In the Find & Launch button script, remove
the line that says:
delete last char of appPath
With OS X bundles, this character is a "/" and leaving or removing it
doesn't seem to make any difference. If the program is not a bundle,
this script removed the last character of the file name, so there was
no matching program.
Sorry about that, please try again and let me know if it doesn't work
this time.
Cheers,
Sarah
