On startup, QS constantly asks if I want to install developer tools for python3 command

[Paul N. Edwards]

I don't use python, and the files QS asks me to download appear to be enormous. How can I stop it from asking me if I want to install these?

At the same time, QS 2.0.3 (4031) now frequently quits for no obvious reason. Snippet from the console crash log:

System Integrity Protection: enabled
Crashed Thread:        4  Dispatch queue: QSCatalogEntry scanQueue: QSPresetRunningProcesses
Exception Type:        EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes:       KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000411e3665700
Exception Codes:       0x0000000000000001, 0x00000411e3665700
Exception Note:        EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY
Termination Reason:    Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11 Segmentation fault: 11

Terminating Process:   exc handler [1071]

Any help appreciated. I am not a power user - mainly use QS for triggers.

Oh, well that’s not ideal.

Python is used to parse HTML to find links. The parser has been rewritten in Objective-C, so the next release will not require Python.

At the same time, QS 2.0.3 (4031) now frequently quits for no obvious reason.

Some crashes have also be fixed for the next release.
