Description Matt Wyczalkowski 2011-02-10 00:11:04 CST 
Fiji.app  fails to launch after updating.

Changing permissions of the executables (chmod a+x Contents/MacOS) does not help, nor does running Updater_Fix.jar

Executing `Contents/MacOS/fiji-macosx`  gives error message,
   Could not create directory: /plugins/Scripts
Executing 'mkdir plugins/Scripts` then gives,
  Could not create directory: /plugins/Scripts/Image
Creating that directory then gives,
  Could not create directory: /plugins/Scripts/Image/Hyperstacks
Creating that directory finally launches Fiji

This was an unfortunate problem due to two long-fixed bugs in the Fiji launcher and the Fiji Updater. Due to the Updater still having the bug when updating the launcher, this problem occurred when you downloaded Fiji Heidelberg and ran it in a time window of almost a week.

Please download Fiji Madison, everything should be cool now.
