OW 5.8 SP1 won't open
Hi everyone :)
After I installed the 5.8 SP1 update, OW wouldn't open anymore. I restarted, and repaired permissions, but that didn't help. Preferential Treatment doesn't report any of my prefs as being damaged. Console has nothing to say (which is a little puzzling), and no hangs or crashes are reported against OW. When I try to startup OW, I see the splash screen, then nothing happens. OW shows up as non-responsive, and I managed to grab a [url=http://www.riverland.net.au/~clytie/hang_trace_OW.txt]hang trace[/url] today by force-quitting it before it disappeared (as it seems to do each time). I'm using Leopard, all updates current. I certainly haven't had this problem with OW before, and it's driving me nutty trying to get by with Camino. Thankyou for any help you can offer with this problem. :( |
OK, this is weird: I hit a link by accident, and OW opened up normally! I haven't changed anything, AFAIK. After all those non-starts, it's suddenly OK? I'm happy it's working, but I'd much rather understand what happened. I'll keep an eye out for more info. <puzzled>

5.8 SP1 104805 hang at launch
When I returned to my Mac after dinner and a movie, I found I had no OmniWeb. I vaguely recall doing an auto-update earlier during a dinner break while I was on the phone with a MacBuddy. (But maybe that was an OmniSomethingElse auto-update -- they all look alike.)
Although Command-Tab showed no OmniWeb, it was in the Force Quit list -- so I did. Another launch also hung. Thanks to Time Machine, I quickly dropped back to 104664, which I'm using to post this note. [SIZE="1"][submitted as formal feedback][/SIZE] |
Revision: 104805
Works fine here 10.5.4 Note I have problems on Leopard with auto-update due to the stupid Leopard "are you sure you want to launch" dialog. Looks like a hang but its not. I now download manually and the just copy over the old OW myself. |
Slightly different applications both hang

The first thing I noticed is that the auto-updated application differs from manually downloaded application. Get Info shows both claim to be 104805.

Yet another Force Quit. BTW, I'm on 10.5.4 / Intel. |
5.8 SP1 104805 launches fine after Restart
When an unrelated newly downloaded application hung at launch, I remembered Handyman's "problems on Leopard with auto-update due to the stupid Leopard 'are you sure you want to launch' dialog."
I decided to Restart 10.5.4. Now both OmniWeb 104805 and the other new application launch fine after I respond to the "stupid Leopard dialog." [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_mind_(Saturday_Night_Live)"]Never mind.[/URL] [SIZE="1"][submitted as formal feedback][/SIZE] |
