Bug Description
After updating my system to the new 10.6.5 Max crashes every time I try to change the converting preferences. Converting a file seems to work for the preference I have chosen before the Mac OS update.
I am working on a 2010 Mac Pro Quad Core.

Yes it also happens when the preference file has been deleted.
I think it only happens when iTunes is running while you are starting Max (the crashing that is)
Also a workaround for me seems to be to go to the Output tab first, then switch to formats...
It is very strange and quirky behavior hard to reproduce 100% but it happens a lot to me.

Other programs that could affect it: Last.fm, Plex Media Server

Same here. I tried redownloading Max and deleting preferences. The problem persists. I can't switch to the Formats tab. And thanks for the quick reply btw.!

Happens to me too on late 2009 iMac 21.5" running 10.6.5
Happens regardless of if iTunes or Lastfm is open or not when launching Max

Yea I can also confirm stopping Growl fixes it. How the hell did you find that out, heylicky :)

I don´t have GROWL on my MAC. I have to stop several program like iTunes or Filemaker or to open MAX before all other programs and it works. It´s no problem though to convert files while other programs are open but it always crashes iof I try to change the converting preferences. And it´s the only program with this behavior. Strange!

@ Oliver and Hachre
Growl was the last thing mentioned in my Max crash logs.
However, I've just relaunched Growl to check before making this post and now it has been restarted I'm no longer having the crashes.
Kristijonas (kristijonas-soundprovocation) wrote : | #15 |
Stopping Growl didn't help me. So, I have found crazy workaround.
1. Open Max, Preferences and before you go to "Formats" tab, go to: /Applications/
2. Move "Growl.framework" to trash! (temporary)
3. Than go to Max, "Formats", change settings.
After all, go back to "Finder", press cmd+z to undo delete of "Growl.framework". Max doesn't start without this framework.
I hope it will help someone. Also, let's keep hoping together that Max developers will fix it soon :)
Cheers!

P.S. You should delete Growl.framework BEFORE opening MAX preferences. SO, try in this order:
1. Open Max, and before you go to Preferences go to: /Applications/
2. Move "Growl.framework" to trash! (temporary)
3. Than go to Max, Preferences>
After all, go back to "Finder", press cmd+z to undo delete of "Growl.framework". Max doesn't start without this framework.
Cheers!

Removing the Growl framework did absolutely nothing for me. Max still won't switch to the Format tab, though it doesn't die on me anymore (just won't show the Formats tab).
New MacBook Air with 10.6.5 and the latest versions of everything.
Harald Glatt (hachre) wrote : | #18 |
Justin, what about disabling Growl in System Preferences?
Dan (dlipofsky) wrote : | #19 |
I had the same problem after upgrading to 10.6.5. I don't have Growl installed and Max was the only program running after a clean reboot. However moving "Growl.framework" to the trash solved the problem. Moving it back recreated the problem. But you can't start Max without that in place, so this is not a very good work-around - I will have to move it after every time I start Max, and move it back again when I am done so that I can start Max next time.
I get 100% reproduction of the behavior this way:
1) Start Max - my File Conversion window opens automatically because this is how I left it last time.
2) Open preferences
3) Click on formats tab - nothing happens
4) Click on outputs tab
5) Click on formats tab again - Max crashes
Jo Rabin (4-launchpad-linguafranca-org) wrote : | #20 |
Same problem with crashing when format selected second time.
Launching Max seems to restart Growl after it has been switched off in System Preferences.
Switching Growl off after launch of Max did the trick.

I see a lot of people are having this problem. But I don't see one note from the developer. Is this going to be fixed or not? I may just start using XLD. At least it works.
Hans Jonker (lowlands) wrote : | #25 |
Same here. Re-build from scratch on 10.6.5. Touching format TAB sends MAX crashing down. No Growl. Have not been able to add anything to iTunes for some time now.. Prefer MAX to XLD, but need something...
Stephen, sorry for bugging & thanks for the good work so far...

I believe I've found the cause and hope to have a fix out within a week. I've been unable to work on Max lately due to other commitments, so sorry for the delay in getting this fixed.

Interestingly I updated to 10.6.6 and I'm not able to reproduce the crash anymore. Can anyone else verify this?

Still one other thing wrong I noticed Stephen is sometimes when you click on an album you want to convert, the songs don't come up in order, like 1-10. It's 1,8,9,10,

Just tried the new build (41435) on OS 10.6.6. I didn't actually install, I just ran it from the folder after I unpacked the tarball.
I can click on the Format tab on the Preferences window and everything there is okay.
The problem showed up when I tried to rip a CD. I got the old "Column identifiers used with NSTableView autosave feature must conform to NSCoding protocol: (null)" message. I remember having this before, so I Googled and found this thread:
http://
I did what was suggested: Saved the data (actually it was saved and had been loaded), then ejected the CD. Then I put the CD back in and it started ripping normally, but the files just piled up in the Encoder queue and nothing happened. They weren't encoded, all just had a "queued" status and that didn't change.
If it helps (or frustrates), when Max couldn't rip my other CD, I did it manually with FLAC and that didn't have any issues.
Thanks for the effort and new build -- sorry for the bad news.
Hans Jonker (lowlands) wrote : | #36 |
No luck for me.
On 10.6.5: Downloaded and unpacked r1435 tar file. Run Max from Download folder. Press Format tab. Max crashes.
Updated to 10.6.6. Run Max from Download folder. Press Format tab. Max crashes.
Hans Jonker (lowlands) wrote : | #37 |
CORRECTION on previous post. Did some more testing. It now seems to work OK.
Rebooted system (once more).
Dragged Max app for Downloads to Applications folder. Fired Max up form that location. Press Format tab... Problem gone.
Confirm that version 0.9.2 seems to no longer have the problem.

Hal Vaughan (hal-halblog) wrote : | #39 |
After reading what Hans wrote, I wanted to try Max from /Applications, instead of from the disk image. Again, this is with r1435.
I still had the same problem: It ripped all the files, but there was the queue of files to be encoded and nothing happens, just a queue remains with all files listed as "queued."
And still get the NSTableView error when running it from /Applications.

Hal Vaughan (hal-halblog) wrote : | #40 |
I just downloaded and tried r1438 and it ripped all the files, but then they just backed up in the list for encoding. After three were sitting there on the list, I just stopped them all.
Is there any way I can get an error report on why it won't encode and send it to you?
I copied the files from CD to a folder and ripped/encoded them to FLAC by hand with no problem.

I was experiencing the problem, downloaded r1348, overwrote my old version in /Applications, and everything worked perfectly. Again, I didn't alter my preferences file at all, just the Max.app bundle. I'd vote for this to be fixed.

That crash log is from the shorten decoder. The shn decoder isn't thread safe so you can only use it with one file at a time.

Having just downloaded Max I can reliably reproduce the crash. It happens every single time. The link to the build above gives me a 404.
I also tried to disable "Dynamically show and hide windows" in the General Tab as suggested by a user in http://

Working on A MacBook 13.3 with 10.6.8 installed (without GROWL) Max 0.91 also kept crashing on accessing the Format TAB (albeit it accessible previously), but instead of deleting and undeleting the whole growl.framework I just don't allow Max to execute the unix binary
/Max.app/
by setting the file permissions to "rw-r--r--" - read only.
That works for me.

I'm using an Intel based mac with OS X 10.6.8. Can't access the format TAB. Problem solved by selecting "open using rosetta" from "get info".
I also encountered this problem. The application doesn't crash on my system though. It just doesn't switch to the Formats tab when clicking on it. It stays on the same preferences tab I selected before. I'm working on a MacBook Pro 13*, 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
