Dear all,

As I very recently acquired a DP1 Merrill, I wanted to have a look at the X3F files using SPP. I was prompted to update from 6.7.x to 6.8.0, which I did.

Unfortunately, SPP is now always freezing on startup... FYI, I'm using a Macbook Air (mid-2012) running Mojave.

After a quick search on the forum, I tried the usual cleaning methods (deleting preferences files), but without any success.

Your feedback would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for your help,

MG

Hi, is it actually freezing or just thinking for a very long time? It can do both I think, depending on its mood.

You can try creating a new user in MacOS and start it there too, just to see if it can work at all.

BTW, I found these files related to SPP, maybe some weren't deleted:

/Applications/SIGMA_PhotoPro6.app
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/SIGMA Plugin
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/SIGMA_PhotoPro6
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.sigmaphoto.capturepro.plist
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.sigmaphoto.photopro.plist
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.sigmaphoto.photopro.sigma_photopro.plist
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/SIGMA
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/SPhotoPro.xml
/Users/<username>/Library/Saved Application State/com.sigmaphoto.photopro.sigma_photopro.savedState
