Working on 10.15 (Catalina). Looks like you have hit https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/PICARD-1825

Thank you, I’ll try the command line workaround. Just odd, that
I’ve always used the newest version and never ran into this.
Hmmm, after doing the terminal workaround the app does open–for
about a half a second before closing again. But the workaround
does remove the ‘corruption’
Unfortunately, it still won’t open. No idea
Can you try launching Picard from the terminal with the -d flag? Should be something like “/Applications/MusicBrainz\ Picard.app/Contents/MacOS/picard-run -d”

Same result. Opens for about a half second then immediately quits
That is expected, but what was the output on the console?

I have reopened the issue PICARD-1825. I had hoped this would be resolved as there was a fix submitted to it at https://github.com/metabrainz/picard/pull/1592
But probably this was something slightly different. Although the debug output indeed indicates it is somehow related to path issues. These reports are always for 10.13, something must be special in how 10.13 initializes the apps. I am also unsure whether all or just some 10.13 installs are affected by this. I myself can only test on 10.12 and 10.15, and in both cases it works.

I think it may have something to do with these:
Tried setting up a VM, but Apple really doesn’t like to help developers.

Found a new bug (select more than one album, then Ctrl+a, metadatabox won’t be updated).
Working on a fix.
Update: or not. Seems to be working now. Weird. Looking into it.
I’m aware, but the issue may be the same.
