Fantastic, well spotted, thanks! I did have a quick look at owner and group but didn't notice the activity.info had odd rw permissions.

I've just run:

  sudo chmod g+rw ~/Activities/Paint.activity/activity/activity.info
  sudo chmod o+r ~/Activities/Paint.activity/activity/activity.info

...to match what is else where, and Paint-28 now launches just fine under 0.82.1 build 767 on an XO-1 now. Gonzalo: No need to add the MANIFEST, but thanks for the .xo bundle with it to test!

Regards,
