Unzipping into /Applications causes the move helper to break

Bug report

Thanks for filing an issue! Please answer the questions below so I can help you.

  • iTerm2 version:
  • OS version:
  • Attach ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist here (drag-drop from finder into this window)
  • Attach a debug log, if possible.
  • Attach a screen capture video if it would make the reproduction steps clearer.

PLEASE ATTACH YOUR PLIST FILE FOR BUG REPORTS! Seriously! I'll probably ask you for it if you don’t.

Detailed steps to reproduce the problem

  1. sudo unzip ~/Downloads/iTerm2-3_4_19.zip
  2. open iTerm2
  3. When "Move to Applications Folder" prompts, click Move to Applications Folder (where it already is)

What happened

A message pops up saying could not move to applications folder Application quits Application deletes itself

What should have happened

First:

  • Should not crash
  • Should not delete itself

Secondarily One of two things:

  • Not prompt to move to applications folder since it is already there
    Or:
  • Cleanly skip past the fact it's already in place

Plist

---com.googlecode.iterm2.plist
