macOS lost file association for par2 [macOS 10.14.6]

Post by TimmehWC »

SABnzbd 4.5.2
macOS 10.14.6
mac mini (late 2014)

I just upgraded to SABnzbd 4.5.2, and now I am getting an error in macOS when SABnzbd is trying to parse PAR2 files.

'par2 cannot be opened because of a problem.

Check with the developer to make sure par2 works with this version of macOS. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and macOS.'

I reinstalled SABnzbd with no change. I thought the File Association might have changed, so I checked it out, and par2 is set to be opened with TextEdit... can that be right? Is there a different program that par2 files should be associated with?

par2 files now always fail with this error.
