Can you try with the Intel version of Scilab 2024.0 ?
S.
Yes. I’ll do it tomorrow
I have installed Scilab 2024 X86 this morning. It has the same problem of opening file. I can open through the menu of Console, nor from Scinote.
But I can open file when I drag the file from Finder to Scinote.
So, I think it is a error when Scilab tries to get the address of the file. When you give the correct address as I drag the file from Finder, it works.
Ok. Please open a terminal and launch Scilab from there with
/Applications/scilab-2024.0.0.app/Contents/MacOS/scilab
keep the terminal window visible so that you can see an eventual error message when you try to open a file from Scinotes. If you see something give the full output here.

Hello Mottelet,
I’m back.
I have done according to your suggestion. Here is what I have got in the terminal window when the file opening command stuck:

Hello Mottelet,
I cannot reply because the new policy limits new users’ replies to 3 only.
I have tried Scilab 2024.1 earlier and it stuck like the Scilab 2024.0

Dear All,
I have downloaded 2025.0.0 on my M3 Mac and I am having similar problems to the one discussed in this topic: when trying to save SciNotes files the program stops responding and it appears the rainbow mouse. Has anyone found a solution? Thanks
Hello, and welcome to Scilab’s discourse !
It’s too bad that you cannot run Scilab smoothly on such a powerfull machine. I have the same questions as previously : what is your particular setup, file system, … ? I test all releases either on a virtual machine with macos Sonoma defaults (like a fresh install) or on a dedicated partition (for Sequoia tests only). I am not able to reproduce this problem. So please be very precise about your use case and about the apple/non apple software installed on your machine.
S.
Thank you for your reply. Well, to be sure, I don´t really know where to find that info you request. I allowed Scilab full access to files and only have installed usual stuff such as VSCode and things like that, nothing quite unusual. If you could provide me more detail about the info you need I will be happy to share it with you.
Can you launch Scilab on the command line in order to see the eventual message when Scilab starts freezing ? Open a terminal then type something like
/Applications/scilab-2025.0.0.app/Contents/bin/scilab
and tell me if you see something when you try so save from Scinotes.
S.
Hello. I did as you said and I am able to save once SciNotes, but the next time I try to it blocks the same as before. When it blocks there appears no new message, but I paste here the message shown the first time I save:

Hello,
Scilab does not seem to like Microsoft stuff:
java.nio.file.FileSystemException: /Users/User/OneDrive - Universidad Pontificia Comillas:
Can you test on the same machine with a brand new user and without using Microsoft’s One Drive ?

Thank you very much. The hint about Microsoft’s Onedrive on MacOS is very helpful. I had the same problem described above (freezing during file operations). Turning off OneDrive allows me to work with scilab 25.0.0 on Sonoma 14.
rejoiced too soon. After starting scilab from the command line and freezing the window, the following message is displayed:

Hello,
Which Scilab version are you using ? Please start Scilab directly from its icon, then describe precisely what you are doing then for reproducing the freeze: do you start Xcos ? Do you try to open a diagram ?
The message about NSOpenPanel is always present each time a file dialog is opened and does not harm by itself (it is a warning).
