Unzipping Mac apps with revZip

[Terry Judd]

I¹m trying to extract and save files from a zip archive using Livecodes
built in zip routines. It all seems to work well (I open the archive for
reading, list the contents using the enumerateItems function and write them
out to file, creating any nested folders where necessary) except that Mac
apps (bundles) that are have been extracted won¹t run despite appearing to
be OK (all bits and pieces are in the right places). When you attempt to
launch an unzipped app it flashes in the dock and then quits. If I unzip the
archive by double-clicking it in the Finder the Mac apps work just fine.

Am I missing something?

FWIW, a similar problem seems to afflict Mac apps that are transferred using
Dropbox. They work fine in the originating folder but nowhere else.
