On macOS High Sierra, latest updates.

I want to send boards out to fab and I’m checking Gerbers. When generating the files, I check the “create job file” option.

I launch GerbView from the Kicad project manager. From the GerbView menu, I choose “Load Gerber Job File.” The File Open dialog box starts in my project’s directory (good!). The Gerbers are in the Gerber/ subdirectory of my project, so I mouse to that, and select the .gbrjob file. 

Upon opening, I’m greeted with a Warning message box:

File “/Applications/Kicad/myproj-F.Cu.gtl” not found.

Click OK, GerbView crashes and generates a report to send to Apple. This is repeatable.

I look in the job file. There are no paths for any of the Gerber files. So why does GerbView assume that the files are in the application installation directory?

GerbView will happily open individual files. But the job file parsing logic is broken.
