Hard Crashes after 1.5.1 Update

Scapple Scapple for macOS
,
1

Hallooo!

Hmm. So, I’ve just updated to 1.5.1 (13694) via “Check for Updates” and clicking the “Install and Relaunch”. Now, any .scap I attempt to open results in a hard crash. New documents seem to work alright, though they appear to have intermittent momentary freezes (could be unrelated, but worth mentioning). All .scap files authored in any prior release crash instantly. They crash so violently the fan spins up on my Mac Book Pro. :blush:

Here’s a partial crash report:

Anyone else experience this? Any chance there’s a workaround?

Cheers & Thanks :wink:

Amber, thank you. I did look through these, but your nudge led me to dig deeper. I went ahead and tried the 1.5.2 beta you shared in a previous thread. Sorted me right out. Woo! I’m back in the game. :slight_smile:

You rock. Thanks. :wink:

Splendid, glad to hear we have nothing new to worry about. :slight_smile:

(Well, we do, but I think I’ve just about figured out the limits of it, and it is unique to macOS 26.)

Thankfully, every time you finish stabilizing your beautiful app…every OS launches an update and sends you back in for more fixing. :laughing:

God speed! Y’all are doin great.
