Any way to make Hollywood on the Mac OS system to remember where I moved the WormHole too?
After closing, it sticks it in the middle of my screen.
Would be nice if it remembers I moved it to the bottom left of my screen as example.
I see it remembers the Amiga side but the Mac side with the applet nope.
Also, down the road, will more than 2 computers be able to use this meaning if I have 2 Macs and 1 AmigaOne, they all be able to transfer files to the chosen computer?
Maybe a drag and drop but as you drop, a menu pops up allowing you to select which computer gets the file, etc... just an idea.
I will test more so other than the Hollywood error that it can't launch the app in question, which it does, the two way transfer did work for me.
I just tried this on my M3 Pro Mac (ARM). As per previous messages, the Hollywood player for ARM OS X doesn't run.. it says it is corrupted.. Using the Hollywood player for X64 Mac runs just fine on my M3 Mac! I had no errors at all, and I could easily transfer files in both directions!
This is a great program!
I did just see the message about a native OS X version. I am guessing it is a 32 bit program, as it won't allow me to run it at all.. I am not sure the current versions of MacOS, even on Intel, will run 32 bit code anymore. I seem to remember that they don't.
Thanks for all of your work on this! Let me know if I can help test anything else!
l I have just fixed the OSX archive. It should contain an x64 binary, but not tested by me.
I am glad to see it is working for you all!
Thanks for the MacOsX version of WormHole, I have tested your MacOs x86 (intel) build but MacOs tells me ‘The programme “WormHole” cannot be opened. Tested on my MacStudio M1 Max....even though it is an Intel x86 build it should launch via Rosetta emulation.

I am enjoying @lazi application WormHole for Amiga OS 4 to file transfer with my Macs.
Although there is not a running version (as of this writing) for MacOS 64bit to run on my Mac Pro 2019 (that I see), the Hollywood version does work even if a small error message pops up claiming the app did not work.
I have been playing with this since yesterday and although not perfect, does seem to work fine for smaller file transfers like a PDF or JPG, etc... Something one may want to transfer from a work computer to the Amiga and back and forth.
Come see and thank you to @lazi for the nice applications.
I got the "Application can't be opened" message too. Not sure why on this one.. I know how to sneak around Apple's current locked security systems, but this doesn't make it that far.
Unfortunately I forgot to tell that I can't create a valid app bundle on Amiga. It needs some care.
The executable flag should be set on the binary.
Open a terminal, enter "chmod + ". (Note that there is a space at the end).
Edit: the correct command "chmod +x "
Drag and drop the WormHole file from the WormHole.app/Contents/MacOS folder to the terminal. Press enter and go back to the app icon. Start the program from the finder while pressing control.
After this first start, it should work normally.
When WormHole is done, I'll give you a proper package, but until then I only want to touch the Amiga

I followed their instructions, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. It still says ‘The programme “WormHole” cannot be opened.
Can anyone else confirm this?

There is a 'File/Next hole' menu item to change remote target. It seeks the next WormHole on the network.
That was the trick it now works without any problems yessssssss
However, WormHole does not remember any settings they are not saved. It is always in the foreground and does not remember the position where it was placed. It would be great if you could add that.
Edit:The transfer rates are incredible, I have never been able to move data from my Mac to my X5000 so fast.

So I can try again, I wanted to make sure I understand what I supposed to do in the Mac OS Terminal.
I need to type (without the ') just chmod and then drag the path of the executable into the terminal window and it will paste, then add ONE blank after that and hit return?
What is the exact file in the contents directory am I trying to drag over?
You typed WormHole.app/Contents/MacOS folder but not sure what file is the executable so wanted to be 100% sure before I try.
My Mac is in the attic, so can't check or make a proper archive at the moment.

The executable is this file: WormHole.app/Contents/MacOS/WormHole You need to add an executable attribute (or whatever they call it in Apple land) to it. IIRC it is the terminal command: chmod +x <file> Maybe the best method is to open terminal, enter 'chmod +x ' and drop the file icon to have the correct path. Then press enter. Done.
@AmigaSociety
I am still planning to frequently update the program in the next days/weeks, so currently the best OSX option is to handle that executable attribute manually.
In the meantime, I wonder how the program works on OSX. Do the functions in the settings menu work? Does overwriting the file works? How the icon look like? Clapperboard or the swirling image?
