Other Users Cannot Access SABnzbd OS Lion

Version: 0.6.9
OS: OS Lion
Install-type: OSx .app
Is the issue reproducible? For me, yes

Hi,

After being prompted to update to 0.6.9, I did so by dragging the new application into my application folder, but since then I have found a strange issue. After I updated the application, other accounts on OS Lion (except the account sabnzbd was installed on) are unable to access the application, as the application is shown as a folder with an access denied identifier. I have edited the permissions on each account to give the account owner full access, but then the application does not appear when it is executed. When I installed 0.6.9 again on another user account, the application worked fine for that user, but the same folder appears for the other users.

This might be a new feature, but I am unable to find anything on Google or these forums, so any help to rectify this issue would be much appreciated.

Thanks for any replies received in advance!

Yes, known problem.
The permissions of the app are not properly set.
Quick fix: as an admin, run this from a Terminal window:
chmod -R g+rx,o+rx /Applications/SABnzbd.app

We'll fix this in the 0.6.10 release, due very soon.
