Spriter Pro

[Mac OS X] Closing immediately after starting. - RESOLVED
Not sure how long ago this started since I haven't used SP on Mac in a few weeks, but today I noticed it crashed as soon as I opened it. Upon re-opening, it asked if it should turn off OpenGL, so I let it try that, but it again just closed immediately after.

Confused a bit, I deleted and reinstalled and verified the application only to find it's still continuing the same behavior. When launching, I capture a glimpse of the editing window then it dissapears with no error messages or anything.

I'm scrounging around the Spriter.app/ directory, but I'm not seeing anything that resembles a log file of whatever might be broken. Any other Mac users come across this issue yet - or is it working for you?

Also, is there a verbosity argument for `open` that I don't see in the manpage? When I run `open Spriter.app` it's doing the same "glimpse the window and crash" thing, but it's not outputting any messages to console neither on stdout or stderr.

edit: I somehow overlooked the startuplog.txt file, however it doesn't provide any useful information about the crash. http://sprunge.us/ATST

edit: I see, I can run the binary executable without `open` - when I do I finally get some stdout and sterr.

Spriter launched successfully.
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; ipcserver GetSteamPath failed.
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.dylib.

It's doing the same glimpse-and-crash issue, but I suspect it's not detecting Steam because I didn't run it from Steam directly. Not sure how else to test for the issue then though....

edit: So, apparently another application I ran through Steam had failed to close correctly - so Steam thought it was still running. I was trying to restart Steam and it kept complaining how the application wasn't closed yet, despite it not appearing in `ps aux` anywhere. So, I forcefully killed all existing Steam processes and reloaded Steam. Spriter Pro appears to open correctly now as well - turns out it was a Steam bug and not an SP one.
