As of patch 1.24 the World Editor will crash every time you want to save a map. It doesn't matter what kind of map it is. Even the default map would crash!
So we need a workaround of this.
(this file is included in the Warcraft 3 Version Switcher)
We will be working a lot with the Terminal so open it. (it can be found in /Applications/Utilities/ )
BACK UP YOUR WC3 INSTALLATION BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING !!!
(unless you know what you are doing
)
First of all, we need to create a new directory in our applications folder named whatever you like. In this Tutorial I will be using "WE" as the folder name.
Copy the War3Patch.mpq (1.23), Miles Carbon Library, and your World Editor (1.24) into this folder. Rename your World Editor inside the Warcraft III folder to WE124 (or something else you like)
Although the editor needs some more .mpq files, we don't need to copy all those, which would waste a lot of disc space.
For the next steps we require the Terminal. All we do now is create symbolic links.
Now we make symbolic links of: War3.mpq, War3x.mpq and War3xLocal.mpq
And now something to make launching the right version of the world editor easier:
Now we don't need to see the folder WE inside of our applications folder and the 1.24 version of the Editor so we make them invisible.
Voila! Now you have a fully working Warcraft III and a fully working World Editor and wasted only 57MB and didn't need to reinstall Warcraft III!
So we need a workaround of this.
Files Needed
a War3Patch.mpq file of a version 1.23 installation(this file is included in the Warcraft 3 Version Switcher)
Tutorial
The main idea of this is to save as much disk space as possible whilst using two patches simultaneously.We will be working a lot with the Terminal so open it. (it can be found in /Applications/Utilities/ )

ln -s /Applications/Warcraft\ III/War3xLocal.mpq /Applications/WE/War3xLocal.mpq
Code:
ln -s /Applications/WE/Warcraft\ III\ World\ Editor /Applications/Warcraft\ III/Warcraft\ III\ World\ Editor
Code:
SetFile -a V /Applications/Warcraft\ III/WE124
SetFile -a V /Applications/WE
