Hi Nick,
I was pleased to see the new release .. unfortunately macdive doesn't restart anymore since I installed the newest release.
See headline of the error report below. Any tips to get things going again? Thanks, Jeroen.

What version of OS X are you running? Presumably 10.6, where that is not available. I have uploaded a fix here:

[link removed]

It will mask this issue for now, until I can fix it properly (it's very late here, but I'd rather get you a fix now). However, I will be dropping support for 10.6 in the near future. I'd recommend updating to a newer version of OS X if possible.

Apologies for the inconvenience. That wasn't picked up in testing, as there are very few users running 10.6 now.

Hi Nick,
yes I'm still on 10.6 .. you gave another reason to change that ..
the fix doesn't do the trick, macdive continues to stop during start-up.
Thanks for the effort, I know the time difference is about 6 hour.
Jeroen.

Try again, same URL. I tested on an old MacBook Pro running 10.6 and after fixing another related problem it runs fine. Sorry about this!

I've fixed the official 2.3.0 to account for this. So, download a fresh copy off the website and the problem should be sorted. Apologies again!

Hi Nick,
oops .. while you were spending your time on the update, I was installing Mavericks .. That took even more time than my son had warned me for .. anyway, I'm back now, hard- & software seem to work fine now, including Macdive. Next step will be to expore the new release.
Regards, thanks again, Jeroen.

Haha. Nice one. Welcome to the future :)

The issue was also reported by someone else, so the sooner it was fixed the better.

Hi,

If you are running Snow Leopard (10.6) and updated around a week ago, then download a new copy off the website and you'll be good to go. If not, please email me your MacDive.sqlite data file and a copy of the crash report, and I will have to investigate further.

Cheers!
