Flame Launcher (MacOS)

Flame Tools and Tech

I’ve found it strange and very unhelpful that Flame on Mac doesn’t spawn a terminal window like in Linux so you can see errors and any prints from Python hooks (useful for debugging) so I wanted to fix that.

Here’s a little “app” that is just a wrapper for a shell script. It’ll scan /opt/Autodesk for the versions of Flame installed and then ask which version you want to launch. Easy-peasy. Not much more to it. Put it either in the default Applications folder or /Users/youruser/Applications and then drag it onto your dock.

Hope some find it useful.

Can you type kf?

Within this shell, no. You could kill it via Ctrl-C but that’s not a great method. kf has always been an alias. I forget what it called though.
