Upon opening the application, NetNewsWire crashes. This is repeated,
have tried restarting computer. Same problem persists.

If anyone knows how to resolve the issue please do let me know!
It's my favourite newsreader!

Would you email me a crash log?

You should be able to find them here:

[your home folder]/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/

The name will start with "NetNewsWire Lite." If you sort the folder by date, you can find and send me the most recent one.

Thanks!

Thanks for the crash log. It looks like a database corruption problem.

The database file is at [your home folder]/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire Lite/Articles

Here's what to do:

1. If you have a backup (via Time Machine or some other way), you could replace the Articles database with a backup from before the crashing started.

If you don't have a backup, you could delete the Articles database.

2. Also delete the following folder: [your home folder]/Library/Caches/NetNewsWire Lite/

The drawback is that you'll have items marked as unread that you've already read. But once you get caught up, it will start working normally again.

Sorry about the crashing! It's the first I've seen of this bug, so I will be investigating further.

-Brent
