Public bug reported:

macOS *loves* to litter the filesystem with hidden files which are
somehow useful to it. Unfortunately this means that if a user moves
OpenLP out of the Applications directory, macOS will create these silly
._* files, and then OpenLP chokes on them when trying to find its
plugins.

To work around macOS's ridiculous behaviour, we simply need to make sure
we exclude files starting with "._" when searching for plugins.

See the original bug report below:


Version: {'version': '2.4.6', 'full': '2.4.6', 'build': None}

--- Details of the Exception. ---

Hi,

I have a need to keep some applications on the USB sticlk, so I moved entire OpenLP folder from
/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/
to
/Volumes/KINGSTONE64/Applications/

The trick above works fine to other applications like Evenote, Gimp,
Nozbe, Google Earth, etc... while OpenLP won't start after that. Even
OpenSong starts propelry after move to USB stick.

Thank you in advance for the correction, I would appreciate for the
patch or woraround as soon as possible.

Best regards
