Bug #42958	Unable to use Workbench on Mac OSX 10.5.6
Submitted:	18 Feb 2009 6:54	Modified:	30 Mar 2009 20:15
Reporter:	Quintin Prinsloo	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:	5.1.7 Alpha Preview	OS:	MacOS (10.5.6 and 10.5.6 Server)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	CHECKED

Description:
Installed on both OS X server and standard OS X. Cannot create tables or other items in workbench (i.e. rendering it useless). Here's the shell information. Appears that the application is looking for plugins that appear to not be included in the image.

============
End shell text

How to repeat:
Install, and open workbench. Check shell text. Try add a table. Table will be added, but cannot be edited.

Suggested fix:
Include plugins in .app package

Thank you for the problem report.

ignore last comment - and reverting values - error in bug number

This feature wasn't implemented in 5.1.7. But it will be there in upcoming version.

So what does that mean? Can Mac users use the software or do we need to wait for another version?

I would really like to start using this software could save a lot of time.  Is there a temporary fix? 

Thanks for all your hard work.

Versions up to 5.1.7 were previews and did not have editors implemented. 5.1.8 will have everything in place and should be out soon in the beginning of march.

Perhaps it would be better to leave announcements until there actually is something that works and that people can test out. The announcment of this preview indicated there was only a couple of items still to be checked off in the OS X version compared with Linux, I expected it to be mostly production ready, not a shell to look at that did nothing. Thanks to all who worked on this and provided feedback. Much appreciated.

So? It is beginning of March.

Is 5.1.8 due yet?

Any update on this bug would be great.  Thanks for all your hard work, it's going to be worth the wait, I'm sure!

this is working in 5.1.9

As it stands, you cannot use this release for anything productive. I believe that was the point from the developers working on the bug report. For the moment, we're still using the Windows Version. Hang in there. If it is anything like the Windows version, it will be worth it.

Please ignore my last comment. I misread the post email.
