Could not establish communication with EspionageHelper

[jabullock]

I just installed a new hard drive in my mac and cloned the links over.

I now encounter this error when I try to startup Espionage. (FYI: The espionagehelper plist does not exist anywhere.)

Report as follows:
Espionage Version: 2.8.13
Espionage CM Version: Unknown
iSpy Version: 2.0.2

Would be nice to get my BSEA folder back.

Dear Josh, considering you opened a support ticket too, I will reply there.

For those interested in solution to this problem, here it is:

The reason the problem usually happens is the change of the home folder path. Espionage does not handle this well and tries to launch the helper using the original user home folder path. To fix this, you have to edit the preferences file:

/Users/[your username]/Library/LaunchAgents/com.taoeffect.EspionageHelper.plist

and set the 

<string>/Users/youroldhomepath/Library/Application Support/Espionage/EspionageHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/EspionageHelper</string>

to correct value.

Then log out, log back in and the helper should start.

Cheers
