[SOLVED] Isadora loading on latest Catalina

photogramdude

Hi,

Mac updated to Catalina before I saw there were potential issues, albeit resolved.

Have tried uninstalling and really deep clean uninstalling Isadora, and deactivating my licences.

I'd installed a few plugins so made sure I've deleted everything to make it vanilla as possible.

Nothing works. I just get the splash screen, hamster wheel and then blank.

Searched forums and google before posting *again* but I'm a bit despondent!

Cheers,

Rob

@robhblack NB I'm not 100% it is because of Catalina, have deactivated Creative Cloud etc.

@Juriaan is right to suggest opening a support ticket. One thing you can try is removing/deleting Isadora preferences, if you have not done that already.

Best wishes

@robhblack Hi Rob,

I had an issue with Isadora loading a few time ago (not on Catalina...) and like @bonemap said delenting Preferences files solved the problem.

After I submitted a support ticket, @Woland answered and explained me the steps below, that I allow to share because I don't think there are unsafe actions involved.

Best wishes. Clement

Please try resetting your Isadora Preferences. To do so:

Quit Isadora
In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder...
Enter this text: ~/Library/Preferences
Select any and all files that start with the name "Isadora Prefs..." together
Right-Click on the Isadora Prefs files you have highlighted and select "Compress" (this will create a file called "Archive.zip" which will serve as a backup of your preference files)
Delete any and all files that start with the name "Isadora Prefs..."
Empty the trash
Restart Isadora

Please note that the "~" at the beginning of the file path in Step 3 *is* important to include.

If the issue persists after deleting the Isadora Preferences files and you want your old Isadora Preferences files back:

Quit Isadora
In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder...
Enter this text: ~/Library/Preferences
Double-click the file "Archive.zip" (this will create a folder called "Archive")
Open the folder "Archive" and move all of the files inside to ~/Library/Preferences
After moving the files, delete the folder "Archive" and the file "Archive.zip"
Empty the trash
Restart Isadora

Please note that the "~" at the beginning of the file path in Step 3 *is* important to include.

@robhblack

Did you get this sorted out?

Also, just to be clear, you are working with Isadora 3, right? Isadora 1 and Isadora 2 are not supported on Catalina.

Best wishes,

Woland
