OmniGraffle refuses to start
 

Hi,

I recently ran into a strange problem with OmniGraffle 5.2.3. Specifically, the application stopped responding when I tried to quit. So, I killed it and tried to restart. The application seems to start (I can see the toolbars) but everything is unresponsive. I get a spinning beachball and Finder reports it as not responding.

I've tried re-installing the application but it doesn't seem to help. Looking in the Console, I see the following error messages associated with OmniGraffle:

Any help would be very much appreciated.

You're probably best off contacting Omni directly for an answer to that, [email]omnigraffle@omnigroup.com[/email] or 1-800-315-OMNI or +1-206-523-4152. With Macworld next week, people there are probably too busy with preparations to spend much time looking for trouble on the forum, which is only followed on an as-time-permits basis.
