OSX High SIerra Issues

[remork]

hi there

tried installing the app on my new old machine (2nd hand 2012 MacBookPro) running High Sierra.
app will launch and connect, but i can't select any objects and there's nothing in the libraries.
it feels like i'm missing part of the installation.
if anybody knows of a fix, that would be highly appreciated.

i have a newer retina-machine with a broken screen that i can work on for now, but i'm afraid that'll die soon.
(that one's still running Sierra, no issues there.)

this is in the app console window (sorry for long copy-paste):

thanks for any input!

weird issue, but i noticed it tries to install to a User that doesn't exist anymore.. at least not on my current startup disk.
any way to manually set the install directory?

I have an old macbook 2012 and using High Sierra, works fine here.

But some other guy mentioned the other day he had similar issues.

Here is the thread:

Objects not showing up

You can also just download the library manually from here, so you don't have to install on another computer first: Push the green square and select "download as zip". But yeah, I think it would be best to get it sorted, so you can update the libraries from the editor. Or else you have to download them manually everytime something changes. but on the other hand the library doesn't change much these days, so manual download could probably also work these days

I suggested installing the objects manually, follow the steps in that guide and see if it works for you too.

But I do find it a bit odd that 2 people experience a bit the same, with objects not showing up.

Anyway, try it as a temporary fix. Maybe I'll drop Johannes an email, with links to these 2 threads, maybe he has a suggestion.

thanks for chiming in!

i think i just fixed it..
in the preferences file "CorrectUser/documents/axoloti/axoloti.prefs"
somehow there was < LocalLocation >/Users/ WrongUser /Documents/axoloti/axoloti.factory/< / LocalLocation>.

that same error (or comparable) was in there three times, mentioning the Wrong User account.
opened prefs file in TextEdit, swapped WrongUser for CorrectUser, saved and exited.

tried launching Axoloti, and hey presto - no more errors, and i can load demoes and library patches.

this does seem rather similar to the thread you mentioned, not in the least for the fact that it got solved deleting a preferences file. haven't touched a windows machine in forever, though, so not too solid on the similarities.
still. weird.

this does make me think that it doesn't have anything to do with what operating system i'm on.. wrong title for topic, i guess.
