@studiokaleidoscope Do you need the version for Java 8? If not, you could use the Zettelkasten_3.3.1_Mac-Java9+.dmg.
If you still use Java 8, please download Zettelkasten_3.3.0_Mac-Java8.zip – both available from the releases page.

@Elmari I think, we need to fix our .github/workflows / Actions.

@studiokaleidoscope

I did install the Java 9 version but when I try to open the message I get is “ Cannot determine the location of JVM”.

That version needs a java 9 jdk or greater.

As described by @Elmari here:

uninstall Java 8 and install Java 11 (the current LTS Version) which you can get from https://adoptopenjdk.net/ .

[studiokaleidoscope]

Thanks mate and it works.

[Elmari]

Hi @RalfBarkow,
sorry for the late response and my abscence lately. I will test the java 8 build this weekend and will check what the error is and whether it is fixable. I really think we should push the bundling of the jre into the zettelkasten further. Then the user does not have to care about the installation of the JRE anymore.

[RalfBarkow]

No Problem @Elmari, it is summer despite all (and an non-commercial open source project)

bundling of the jre
#207

Would like to discuss this further as the disadvantage of this approach seems to be

[…] you give up operating system independence (each operating system requires its own image), and when the JRE is updated on the target machine, you do not benefit from its improved security or performance. Nominally you have to create modules to use jlink, but tools like Moditect allow you to bypass this. (Parlog, N. (2018) Der neue Releasezyklus von Java)

[Elmari]

Giving up os independence is true, though security shouldn't be an issue for us as the jre is only going to be used by zettelkasten and we don't perform any security related critical actions.
Also it seems that moditect, after a quick look at it, just creates images the same way one would normally do (without modules but that's not difficult either)

I don't want to say however, that moditect isn't suitable and that we should do it the way I said. Maybe we should discuss this in a separate ticket?

[RalfBarkow]

I am not at all prejudiced about this Moditect tool, but interested in a general discussion about how to proceed. Gladly in the #207 ticket for example (by the way, I have opened a corresponding project).

[Elmari]

but interested in a general discussion about how to proceed

sounds good 👍

Ah and yes, totally forgot about ticket #207. Let's continue the discussion there

[RalfBarkow]

@Elmari Could you please check Zettelkasten_3.3.1_Mac-Java8.zip. Are you able to unzip and run app from that .zip?

Related to "No Mountable File Systems" error #284

[Elmari]

Unfortunately I still haven't gotten around to fix it. Currently I am fully occupied with writing my master thesis. But I will try to look at it again this afternoon.

[RalfBarkow]

@Elmari But I will try to look at it again this afternoon.

No hurry. In the meantime I have deleted Zettelkasten_3.3.1_Mac-Java9+.dmg from releases and replied to Phoenicia15 to please try v3.3.0 instead (Zettelkasten_3.3.0_Mac-Java9+.dmg).
