Crash on startup with directory (but works on re-attempt)

[mcackay]

Version 1.8.0

I've spotted a semi-reproducible crash, while trying to launch Moliview and open a directory.

I have an Automator service -- with the only action "Open Finder Items" ... Open with "MoliView.app", with a shortcut bound to it.

• With MoliView not running, and after the computer has been idling for a while, I run this service on a highlighted directory ... it will often crash.
• If I repeat the Automator task again, it works right away.

I was able to reproduce this a couple of times after a minute or so of idling, which is how I got the console logs below. But it's not consistent -- currently it's loading fine.

(I'm yet to reproduce it by dropping the directory onto the Dock icon. Will let you know if I can confirm that too).

Console logs showing an error:

OK -- so some updates:

• Managed to reproduce this using drag-onto-icon with a folder.
• I hadn't tried before, but it's also happening when opening a single image .
• It mostly works on second try ... but I did end up with a period where I couldn't open up any file in Moliview launched from the Finder. The console logs were displaying basically the same error lines.
• However, if I opened Moliview first from the Doc, then dragged a Folder or an Image onto the app window, then it loaded fine.
• ... coming back after being afk for a few hours afk, it's return to the 'crash once, launch on second' behaviour.

This is also related to macOS 15.0😂. Wish Apple would release macOS 15.0 ASAP🙏. So I can use the latest Xcode to build the project. Then the App will behave the same in 14.0 and 15.0.

@mcackay Please check if the bug has been fixed in 1.9.0.

Yes, seems fine so far. Thanks again.
