Workaround: Use macOS 10.14 instead of 10.16.

[flit]

Thanks for the report. It still works (at least for me) in 11.2.3. I was just about to update to 11.3.1 later today, so I'll try to reproduce the crash afterwards.

[flit]

After upgrading to 11.3.1, I'm not able to reproduce the crash.

Could you please attach or email me your MidiKeys preferences file (~/Library//Preferences/com.immosw.MidiKeys.plist)?

Also, what was the circumstance of the crash? Were you doing anything in particular when the crash occurred? Or does it crash on startup?

Thanks!

[MonkeybreadSoftware]

I am sorry, but such a file doesn't exist. I had Find Any File search for something named MidiKeys, but it only found the app and crash report. Have you tried without a preferences file?

[MonkeybreadSoftware]

In the trash, I found it:

Please be aware that this is the preference file content from trash, so I deleted it to try without preferences file yesterday already.

[flit]

Thanks, I'll try both cases.

[flit]

Apologies if this is obvious, but are you using version 1.9.1?

[MonkeybreadSoftware]

Sorry. Was 1.9. With 1.9.1 it worked. And I thought I had the latest one. Sorry.

[flit]

No worries! 😀
