GL02 not working on Mac OS 10.6.8?

Authoring Inform 7
1

Hello everybody,
i have started looking into creation and playing IF a few years ago and have kind of followed the development with a lot of interest.
Just now I saw the new release and instantly wanted to try it.
Unfortunately, while it does start in terms of showing the welcome dialog, as soon as I try to open a new or existing project, the application crashes. The release notes say that you need Mac OS 10.6.8 or newer on an intel-based mac. That’s just what I have.
When directly starting the executable in a Terminal, before opening the welcome window, you can see

2014-06-10 00:17:28.741 Inform[1084:903] Could not find image named 'zoom-file'. Inform 7 build 6L02 has started.
I do not know if this is related in any way.

The beginning of the crash report reads

(If you want I can pastebin the whole thing)
The old version works without any problems. I have also cleared any files in ~/Library/Inform and ~/Library/Application Support/Inform that might have affected something.

Anyone else having this problem? Any possible solution, any config files or similar i might not have deleted?
Thank you for helping me out,

Looks like the same as https://intfiction.org/t/gl02-not-working-on-mac-os-10-6-8/6993/1 , although the stack trace there looks like it’s opening an existing project and yours looks like saving a new project.

No workarounds listed.

Sorry, inform7.com/mantis/view.php?id=1271 was the link I meant.

Hmm, thanks, that’s unfortunate. Does the “Inform[1585:903] Could not find image named ‘zoom-file’.” also appear on machines on which Inform is working? I’ll see if I can get my hand on a newer Mac later and try it there.

I’ve tried it on a newer computer and indeed the same message appears in the Terminal, so i has nothing to do with that.
