LC 6.7.8 won't load

2016-02-06 Thread Peter Haworth
I just installed LC 6.7.8. When I ran it for the first time, it went through the usual license check and the aborted with no error message. Same thing happens every time I run it (sans the license check). This is on OSX 10.10. Anyone else seeing this?

Sounds like you may be experiencing something different. 6.7.8 is the only version that won't run for me. I've tried a half dozen time with the same result. Is there some sort of system logfile I can look at and include with a QCC report? On Sun, Feb 7, 2016 at 3:54 AM [-hh] wrote: > > Peter

It looks like this is a plugin issue. I removed all my plugins and 6.7.8 now loads fine. Will experiment to find which plugin is causing the problem. On Sun, Feb 7, 2016 at 10:45 AM [-hh] wrote: > > Sounds like you may be experiencing something different. 6.7.8 is the > only > > version that w

Thanks Mark. I found the culprit that caused the 6.7.8 issue - a tiny little plugin I write that loads at startup, although I'm not sure why the coding error in it should cause LC to silently quit or why it didn't have the same effect in other LC versions. I have separate prefs locations for 7 an

Re: Black icons in LC 8 DP 14

2016-02-08 Thread Peter Haworth
I'm seeing what I think is a related issue in the Script Editor. Not sure what font was used in the SE tabs prior to 8 DP14 but it was noticeably bold on the active tab. In DP14, the bold is hardly noticeable so I'm guessing it's using the system font and this is the same issue as with the icons.

I've been doing some php coding recently and it allows the use of single or double quotes as string delimiters so you can use single quotes around a string that includes double quotes. Would be nice to have that in LC. On Tue, Feb 16, 2016, 5:45 AM Peter M. Brigham wrote: > On Feb 16, 2016, at
