Frequent Crash (NSRunInformationalAlertPanel may only be invoked from the main thread.)

[Diggory]

Hello,

Recently (maybe over the last year or so) - I've been finding that QS crashes about once a week.    I've been sending the reports when the app reopens.

Looking thorough the console logs, it appears to be an exception: 

Application Specific Information:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: 'NSRunInformationalAlertPanel may only be invoked from the main thread. Behavior on other threads is undefined.'

terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

abort() called

Is this fixed in a future release?  Or is this an old plugin which I can uninstall?

Thanks,

Diggory.

Please ignore this post.  Shortly afterwards I found the relevant bug report.  I manually downloaded the latest version and QS is now happy again.

It’s finding that a new version of QS is available and attempting to notify you, but this was causing a crash.

Yes, that was fixed in 1.5.7. The current version is 1.5.9, which you can download manually. I think if you go to the preferences and check manually, the alert will originate from a foreground thread and be fine, if you’d rather do it that way.
