After setting particular location for notes, opening Preferences now crashes Tomboy

[yaomtc]

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, and tried deleting the Application Support folder, but no matter what I've done, it still crashes when I try to open Preferences. Here's the terminal output:

It's from the installation file provided on the main page here, 0.3.4. Not sure what version of Tomboy that corresponds to.

[yaomtc]

I've also tried deleting the Tomboy folders in Application Support and Caches before reinstalling, but no dice. Still crashes. Is there another location for config files? How can I get a fresh start?

What version of OS X?

I have the same precise issue; and moreover, when I try to follow the build instructions (to see if the current master version behaved any better), tomboy-library builds fine, but when I open the tomboy.osx.sln file in Xamarin Studio 6.1.1 it complains "Unknown project type: PackagingProject" and "Error while trying to load the project: '[..FULL PATH SNIPPED..]/tomboy.osx/tomboy-library/Tomboy-library/Tomboy-library.csproj': Text content is not allowed inside a ItemGroup element." and then won't do a thing.

Any thoughts? Any way to build without Xamarin Studio? Since Xamarin won't even get going with the project, there's not really any way I can try to debug.

[gwhitney]

Oh, I should mention that I had tried to set up tomboy osx to sync with grauphel, not being aware of bug #39 that doomed me there. So possibly this issue is tied up with that one. In any case, I would be very happy if this and #39 could be worked out. I would be happy to work on them myself (it looks from the comments like there has already been much work on #39 and the related #41) but as I can't even get the build to work it is tough for me to contribute effort here. So any thoughts/information about how to get past the Xamarin issues in my last comment would be very helpful as I could then attack these issues myself and perhaps be helpful to the maintainers of this project. Thanks, Glen

@gwhitney I was doing a lot of work on the OS X build, but haven't touched in a couple of years. So, yes the project has fallen far behind Xamarin changes. I was ready to make the required big changes so that it could just work with Xamarin instead of Monomac, but it seemed like it would require a bit of work and I ran out of time again.

If you can make it work, that would be great. Whatever you think is needed. I think it would be best if we dropped the MonoMac references and went with the current MainStream Xamarin best practices.
