When I open SketchUp.app the normal way on my Mac, it doesn’t open. The icon appears in the dock, but it crashes right away. I see nothing of the app and all I can do is right click the icon in the dock and force quit it.
However, when I execute the following on the command line, it DOES work:
what if you go to the application folder then the sketchup folder and double click on the icon ? could be that your dock icon points toward something that isn’t there anymore ?
remove the one currently in your dock.
launch sketchup using the command line, then move it in the dock so it’ll stick around.

Crashes.

Nope.

I did that multiple times. The strange thing is: I open it from the command line, application opens correctly, I keep that icon in the dock, close the app, click the icon in the dock => crashes! Then back to the command line and the exact same dock icon opens without crashing. Never ever had this problem before, driving me crazy…
