[ANN] Folder Compressor Available For Beta Testing

[Sarah Reichelt]

Do you get the single bounce and then nothing? If so, it is almost 
certainly a permissions problem. Rev seems to require that the current 
user be the owner of the app, or at least has read/write access to the 
bundle.

I posted a Terminal script a few days ago to do something like this and 
while it was legitimately criticized as being a security risk, it is 
essential for OS X where apps are really just folders and need to be 
writable. In your case, you can probably just make it so that the 
current user is the owner and that would work fine (use the chown shell 
command).

Cheers,
Sarah
