Upgrade to High Sierra

I have upgraded to high Sierra and WD keeps crashing. It ran fine in Sierra but now it crashes every time I try to run it. Has anyone else had the same problem?

we could try with the latest compiler that I have
one thing that is going to happen is that OSX is going to be where only 64 bit apps will run
the compiler that I have will be able to produce OSX 64 bit version , but not until next year

apple love to make breaking changes
and apple users love to use the latest versions of apple software

which makes it very hard for developers to keep up

you could try running the actual executable file in a terminal window

I am happy to try it with the new compiler. Just let us know when its ready

The executable file works ok through the terminal window

you could try this new update
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/weatherdisplaynew.dmg

I’ll try it and let you know

Keeps crashing in High Sierra even when I use the terminal window. The older version does the sam thing

but you said before that it worked OK in a terminal window
I am confused

It worked at first but when I logged out then in again it wouldn’t do it. No great drama I just rolled back the Mac OS X and all is good. It works fine

Fusion or SSD?
Fusion drives do not have the new file system, but SSD does and that is wreaking havoc on Weathercat people. I have a fusion drive and no problems, but that probably will change when the file system happens for fusion.

A longshot expensive solution. You can always use Parallels for the virtual partition, then install windows 10, or 7 or whatever you might get hands on. Then load Weatherdisplay and run it from there unitl Brian gets his program working.

OF course , you could also flesh out the new file system and see where apple put Weatherdisplay . OR even try to save the data elsewhere. Then delete every thing but the log files and data files. delete Weatherdisplay, but you have the data. Reboot, re-install ( you will have to get a new registration from Brian) and put in your log and data files.

My thoughts is that it might put everythign where it is suppposed to go. OR I could be full of beans as i am guessing a solution

I just removed high sierra and am back running sierra. At the moment everything is running just the way it should

was there any error in the terminal when running it from there?

I think it said a runtime error. I’m reinstalling High Sierra then WD. If the error still occurs i’ll post a screen shot

I have worked out, when you install WD for the first time it will work ok and won’t crash but if you shut it down and then start it again it will crash. I have attached a copy of the terminal window


it might be a problem with something in ether the WDISPLAY.INI or wdisplayftp.ini settings files
if you backup and then delete those, in turn, which one causes the problem, and then .zip and email me that

I have sent you an email of the offending file with a little more detail of what I think it is

Which file do you think is offending… What do you suspect the issue is? Just curious

I made it to Sierra and not immediate plans on High Sierra, but will down the road i’m sure.

Thanks

it turned out to be an issue with the weather station type (WH3081) and the history data loading
High Sierra is not available here yet for me to upgrade too

Thanks, good to know… I’m on a Davis VP2 so hopefully that one will be OK

Defiantly NOT ready to go up to High Sierra yet
