Description

ChimeraX fails to start if there is a comma in the app name. I had renamed it "ChimeraX Aug 25, 2016". With the comma in the name it fails to fine the Qt cocoa plugin. Taking the comma out and it starts correctly.

$ "/Users/goddard/Desktop/ChimeraX,today.app/Contents/MacOS/ChimeraX"
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa"
in "".

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Fatal Python error: Aborted
