Isaac SIM | App selector not working

[omers]

Hi,

In the Omniverse launcher, I have selected a default app for Isaac SIM. So now the app selector menu doesn’t show, which is OK. The problem is that when I do want to show it, in order to send an argument for example, it doesn’t work. I try to show it by selecting it under the Help menu:

The following error then shows:

You can work around it by editing ~/.local/share/ov/data/Kit/Isaac-Sim_App_Selector/2022.1/user.config.json and changing auto_start to false. Nevertheless, it should work from the GUI as well.

Thanks for catching this. I’ll file a bug OM-74496.
We should ignore the auto_start variable when starting the App Selector from the help menu.

Seems like the path that this menu item is trying to open is wrong:
2022-11-29 10:20:41 [354,066ms] [Error] [omni.kit.ui.python] FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/home/amram/.local/share/ov/pkg/isaac_sim-2022.1.1/kit\kit’: ‘/home/amram/.local/share/ov/pkg/isaac_sim-2022.1.1/kit\kit’

This path issue will be fixed in our next version too.
