Hi everyone, while you can continue the discussion here, please note that nobody from Maxon Support is reading this forum.
It's intended for Help on projects and setups and not tech support.
Please use the "Report Bug/idea" from the Help menu inside C4D or contact support again. The more people reporting something, the higher the chance of a fix... if possible.
Thank you! -
Not sure.
Complaining here gave me once in a lifetime a bug fix after 2-3 years complaining.
Never got any bug fix from the bug report. Only one answer : "It's because Apple changed something in the OS. We work with them to improve. I flag your request as solved (even if it's not)".... And your problem will remain never solved for eternity.
It's hard to know where it's more usefull to complain as they never care either we complain here or via the bug support. -
The color picker not working is also not solved for 2 years at least. "Because of apple..."
Freelance developpers managed to make it work, but for Maxon it's heavy!!! -
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@noseman Are you kidding? Is working in Cinema 4D a lottery?

hey, just wanted to let you know that finally I was able to solve the thumbs for me in two hours vibecoding with codex.
I'll check if I can provide a test version without apple signing problems (I am not a developer) and let you know... maybe @maxon just try to let Codex fix your software if it isn't already at work.@noseman at this point a statement like this really really makes people angry, we have been issuing bug reports, even pointing to the exact problem without Maxon doing sh*t except closing the bug reports - it's really a sad joke.
If you missed it read McGavrans quote I posted earlier and have a big laugh.since I can't post any "big" images here:

Wahou! incredible. Is it possible to share your work ?
-
@army-purpose like I said I have to check because I'm not 100% sure with the self-signed-apple thing, I'll ask codex and see what I can share later today ok?
-
@Tisi Thank you !!
-

-
OMG PARTYYYYYY timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee BIG THANKS
-
@noseman 3 times I have done this.
now I am commenting on Maxons post on X.
κάνε κάτι πατριώτη .LOL
it is so difficult to work without thumps. imagine I run a Virtual machine with old MacOs so I can search the files.
ευχαριστώ πολύ

@Tisi whaaaaaaaaaaa! Please make it happen somehow! What a hero. And what a shame to Maxon and their speed they are providing

Hey, I think installing (=dragging it into your Applications Folder) might work, you probably have to do the whole right-click "open anyway" thing for unsigned apps because macos won't let you just open it. fingers crossed*

@Tisi It works great. Thank you so much.
-
@Tisi Thanks a lot for preparing. Unfortunately I can't even open the app on my Mac (Tahoe, M4). Apps are allowed from anywhere and I also tried some permission things in the terminal.
-
Tested on M1 Macbook and M4 Mac Studio, both on Tahoe. Both showing same error.
Are you guys on Sillicon and Tahoe?OK IT WORKED WITH FOLLOWING:
4. Force Executable Status on the Main Binary
Sometimes the internal app layout doesn't register correctly. If you haven't already applied permissions directly to the internal code:
- Right-click C4DThumbnail.app in Finder and choose Show Package Contents.
- Navigate into Contents > MacOS. You should see a file named
C4DThumbnailinside. - Open Terminal, type
chmod +x, and drag that internalC4DThumbnailfile into the terminal window, then hit Enter.
Do you know if this app was built specifically for Apple Silicon (M-series chips) or Intel? If the architecture doesn't match your specific Mac hardware, that can also trigger this generic "can't be opened" alert.
