RouteConverter Forum - TimeAlbum Pro v2.32.345 Crashes on Launch on Mac High Sierra

Whenever I try to launch TimeAlbum Pro v2.32.345 on my Mac running High Sierra, it crashes!

This is new behaviour. I tried deleting the preferences etc. Made no difference.

Attached is the crash report.

Any ideas on how to fix this, please let me know.

RobK
P.S. Please note that RouteConverter runs fine on the same Mac running High Sierra. Only TimeAlbum Pro crashes on startup.

Hi Rob,

this is weird. The two apps are almost identical and their startup when the crash happens is identical except for the Splash screen.
Could you try the JAR version of TimeAlbumPro from https://static.routeconverter.com/downlo...ases/2.32/ and run it from the Terminal?

I downloaded the jar file for Time Album Pro. When I first ran it, I got the following error message:

Code:
Java 11.0.17 does not support JavaFX.  Please install java 8 from Oracle.  Avoid OpenJDK.

So I switched to Java 8 and tried again. I get an out of memory error at the end. I also got the same error message when I ran /Applications/GPS/TimeAlbumPro.app/Contents/MacOS/TimeAlbumPro from the terminal.

See below.

I do see the GUI for Time Album Pro but just briefly. Then it crashes. Maybe there is a bad cache or preference file. Please let me know where all the caches and preference files are located for TimeAlbum Pro. Then I will delete then and try again.

That is weird: 1864 MByte heap is more than enough.

Could be that the JavaFX browser that I'm using to display the map has a bug with Java 1.8.0_351 and/or Mac OS X 10.13.6

Let hope some preferences request a gigantic window which leads to a crash ;-)

I'm using Java Preferences which a mapped to Mac defaults. Here's an FAQ: https://www.routeconverter.com/faq/exper...options/en

Well, it does not look like I have any hidden options configured for Time Album Pro:

Code:
Grinchs-MacBook-Pro:~ rob$ defaults read slash.navigation.gpx

{

    "/slash/navigation/gpx/" =     {

    };

}

I may try to completely uninstall Time Album Pro and then reinstalling it.

How would I go about completely uninstalling it? Where are all the Time Album Pro files located on the Mac?
e.g. ~/Library/System Preferences etc etc

P.S. I tried running Tim Album Pro using an older version of Java 1.8.0.261. But it did not make a difference. It does not look like a Java issue.
As I mentioned, I was able to run Time Album Pro until recently.

Maybe one of the map files is corrupted. If only I could delete the cache of map files...

To completely purge everything, you need to remove

Application:
Preferences: ~/Library/Preferences/slash.*
Downloads: ~/.routeconverter
Log: /var/folders/*/*/T/routeconverter-*

A crash of the Java VM is always a Java issue.

The crash happens way before that is used.
