In my Library folder, I found two plist files: org.quackle.Quackle.plist and quacker.plist. I deleted them both. When I started Quackle again, it asked me to configure the board. I did that. But when I try to start a new game, it still throws the same error.
I saw that a new org.quackle.Quackle.plist file had been created. I opened it and found some string entries to be empty, notably the following: quackle.initial-directory, quackle.letterbox.dict.filename, and quackle.letterbox.dict.gaddagfilename. Could it be that these entries should somehow be nonempty? What should their values be?
