…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.
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.
