Maps in Mac OS Sierra

I have 2 issues with ZyGrib in Mac OSX Sierra
1. The download which includes the high resolution maps and the program (zyGrib_mac_withmaps2-8.0.1.dmg) does not work - although about 130MB is downloaded the file is listed as 20KB and will not open.
2 The basic program (zyGrib_mac-8.0.1.dmg) after downloading will run but show no maps. When I try to add maps : (zyGrib_maps2.4_mac.dmg) and copy them to the Maps folder and restart, all resolution maps are still greyed out.

Looking at the history of updates this also occurred when the OS was upgraded to Mavericks.

Hello,
I dowloded zygrib 8 with maps. At the first run there was no toolbar, no maps and no french interface.
In the terminal i lauched /path/to/zyGrib_mac-8.0.1/zyGrib.app/Contents/MacOS/zyGrib to see if there are error message.

No error message, but all works fine :-) Perhaps a path issue ?
With macos Sierra

I was able to see the maps on my Mac running Sierra 10.12.2 by moving zyGrib.app and the data folder into the hidden directory 'users/username/.zyGrib' created at some point by either the installation or my first Grib download. This directory also has a folder 'config' that has the 'zygrib.ini' file in it.

I created an alias to run the app from a hidden file for now, but will try moving them all to 'users/username/applications/zygrib' and editing the ini file at some point.

I would suggest that the developers consider including a menu item to set the directory for maps.

I have the same problem in my Sierra! The charts nor the buttons shows! I tried the solution above but it did not work. Any ideas?
