After applying update 82 MinimWatch 2 crashes on startup.

   

MacOS 10.14.6

Thanks for letting me know. As a temporary workaround until I have more information about what is causing this on Mac, please remove update 82 using the Packages tab, then click Relaunch.

Unfortunately there's no way to get to the Packages tab. Clicking "OK" results in the same exception message. And if clicking "Cancel" the MinimWatch symbol does not appear in the menu bar.

You will need to manually remove update 82 as follows:

1) Stop MinimWatch (if showing the error message)
2) In Finder, select Go > Go to Folder
3) In the entry field, type: ~/Library
4) Open the MinimWatch subfolder
5) Open the libext subfolder
6) Delete all four files in the libext subfolder
7) Launch MinimWatch

I will reinstate the update when it has passed testing on all platforms. My apologies for the inconvenience. This is a Java bug that seems to only affect the Mac.

Thanks, Simon. After deleting the four files in the libext folder, MinimWatch works (and doesn’t offer the update).

This is because I have removed the update until the problem is sorted. I will let you know when the new update is ready to try. Getting this right is slightly tricky because Java support in this area is not consistent between Linux and Mac.
