Thank you, Joe.  From your data we were able to pinpoint some bad programming in populating menus, which is affected by open documents, so that explains that crash, and we just fixed it.

Another update to check on as still can not edit a link in the document without it crashing on the 10.6.8 iMac.
The data we received is indeed from an iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  It includes 8 crashes from late yesterday afternoon, all occurring in 5 minutes between 17:20 and 17:24.  It also includes 5 crashes from this afternoon, 1 at 16:35 and 4 between 17:38-17:40.  However, all 13 crashes occurred at exactly the same point in the menu-populating part.  It is odd that this would crash when you change a bookmark name.  But the Mac OS can decide to repopulate menus at any time, and I've often seen it happen at times when it doesn't make sense to me.  So, if the clock-times of these 13 crashes are about the times you were changing bookmark names, then I'd say that all 13 crashes were caused by this same bug.  I still haven't seen any crashes here, but menu-populating is system-dependent and load-dependent, so it's weird but possible.

At that point I run the Trouble Zipper and get the error: sh: /bin/mkDir: No such file or directory.  So I went to edit and changed all instances of mkDir to mkdir and ran the script.
…and it worked.  Thank you – very nice to have sophisticated users!  I have no idea how that happened, except that some times AppleScript Editor "helpfully" "corrects" character case of when it thinks that it recognizes an application term.  Arghh!!  Anyhow, a fixed Trouble Zipper has just been uploaded.

Back to BookMacster – We'll beat on this new version 1.7.1 for a few hours or so and then publish it on the beta feed.

Thanks again for the help, Joe.

Thank you for the report, Joe.  I just booted into 10.6.8 to retest BookMacster 1.7 beta.  Found no problem editing bookmark names.

Please relaunch BookMacster on your 10.6.8 Mac, click in the menu Help ▸ Trouble Zipper and send me the result.  It should pick up all of today's crash reports, plus any BookMacster entries in your console logs, system info, etc.


Tried to do that and it crashes every time I try to go to the help menu. I then closed the BookMaster document and was able to
get to the help menu. At that point I run the Trouble Zipper and get the error:
sh: /bin/mkDir: No such file or directory

So I went to edit and changed all instances of mkDir to mkdir and ran the script. The files is attached.

Thanks
Joe

Hello,

Downloaded the new version on my 10.6.8 Mac. Now whenever I go to change the name of a saved link it crashs. It doesn't matter if I try to do it via a click on the name or try to do it via inspector. It has crashed every time and I've tried it probably a dozen times. Let me know info you need as this one is reproducible. I have also installed the update on a Mac running Lion and was able to change the name of the link via clicking on the name without a problem.

Thanks
Joe
