[suicune]

Wow, can you go work for digidesign please?

Sorry I mean avid.

Here you go:

19:35 being the app launch, 19:36 is clicking the update list button and 19:37 is quitting.

Great thanks... I'm closer... can you download and run it one more time? New file here

Also could you type "defaults read com.emptymusic.Plug-Tools" in a terminal window and post the output?

I have a good idea where it's failing, just trying to figure out why...

Great idea and great app! Definitely has a future. You should post it in the LE section for those who are too intimidated to enter the HD/TDM forums.

OK, here's the console output from the new version:

Again, that's launch, update, exit.

And the terminal output:

Hope it helps!

I think I found the bug, but I can't tell if I fixed it since I am unable to reproduce it on my system. So... if you wouldn't mind... I have yet another version up on my site for you to check out.

If it still doesn't work, please post the console output again. I added more debugging info that might be of help.

The new version is here

[suicune]

It works! I am mightily impressed with your customer support

Unfortunately since I'm not running SL it's auto-marking most of them out of date, but that's hardly your fault. It's still an amazingly useful app, thank you so much. A paypal donation shall be winging it's way to you...

[trombino]

Wait... it's not marking them correctly, really? Let me look into it. Send me any info you can that might help. :)

[suicune]

No I didn't mean that, it's just a number of plugins have updates which are for SL only, so mine get marked out of date even though they are the most recent for my OS. Plus since I had to go back to 8.0.1 due to problems with -9031 errors under 8.0.3 most of my digidesign plugins get flagged. The app is doing exactly what it is supposed to now, it's not your problem.

Thanks again for your help.

[!arecord!]

Thanks a ton for the app. Will come in real handy.

[ARTHANOR Productions]

It looks like a wonderful app. Unfortunately the "mark" function does not work here for some reason...
