Worth a shot, though. I was going to suggest deleting the preferences if the

Ah! Here is something for you to try, though. Try deleting the file
"com.trolltech.unknown-organization.plist" from your Preferences folder, if
present. (Trolltech produces Qt, the interface kit used by LDView.) This file
appears to contain the bulk of LDView's actual preferences.

I don't have that file; but Travis pointed me to another preferences file I had
missed in /Library/Preferences which was named com.LDView.plist. I guess I
missed it because of the com. prefix which the file in my own preferences
directory didn't have, or maybe I didn't even look there, I'm not sure.

Anyway, removing that one has allowed me to start LDView again, so all is better
now. I've sent the offending file to Travis too for analysis; but at least it
works again now.

Yay!


True. If deleting the trolltech preferences file resets it successfully, you
could always try going through the preferences again one at a time until you
find the setting that caused the problem.

I'm way too lazy to do that :-)

Thanks for the help,

(...) I'm not 100% sure, but it appears that preference sets are setting off the crash. I'm not sure why yet, but QT on the Mac just completely wigs out when you launch LDView after creating and switching to a new preference set. So I'd say, don't (...)

(...) No, I don't need the report. It doesn't sound like something I can diagnose - I just asked on the chance that there was a specific setting or command you had tried that I could duplicate to help identify the problem, if I had not encountered (...)
