Hi,
I've just downloaded and installed the beta version of LRTimelapse 6.0.0_b5_ARM_mac (build 760) (prior to updating my LRT5.8 Pro licence).

When starting the program it starts to load, shows the startup header, gets to "launching application" and immediately shuts down when it gets to "loading user interface" and the icon is removed from the Dock.

Lightroom is off.
The old LRTimelapse version 5.8 has been trashed and the trash bin emptied.
I've download and install the latest Adobe DNG Converter for Mac OS (14.1).
The computer is a Mac mini (M1, 2020), Apple M1 chip, 16GB ram, running macOS Monterey version 12.1
System Preferences / Dock / Show recent applications in Dock is off.

I've restarted the computer and re-installed the application with nothing else running and it refuses to load the user interface.

I've been running LRT 5.8 pro with no issues untill today, which has all be stripped out on installing LRT 6.0.0.

No log codes or anything as it won't load.

Is there a work around or something else fundamental that I should have done prior to install?

I'm looking forward to getting to grips with the update. Keep up the great work.

Mike

Hi, I also want to run LRTimelapse 6.x eventually on a Mac mini with the same specs described in this thread but currently running OS 11.6.2. It will be interesting to see where this goes to resolve this issue so will be following this thread realizing this is a major upgrade and the challenges associated with a major release as I am in the software business but for RIPS.

Hi Gunther,

Having read the output - Start path: /Volumes etc, I realised that my RAID volumes were not live so I've turned them on but made no difference - so it doesn't loolk like it failed due to not finding the volumes linked in the directory chooser.

Could you please delete the settings file: /Users/michaelwalker/Library/Application Support/LRTimelapse/user.props
After that it should launch. This will be fixed in the next version.

Thanks Gunther, problem resolved.
