Sequel Pro keeps crashing, I can't do anything anymore!

[BottleBoot]

I already have rebooted and downloaded the latest version.
I get a feedback screen, but when i try to send a message about the
crash this also makes Sequel Pro crash.

Basically anything I do in the program makes it crash. :/
What can I do to make it work again?????

Is there a local cache which i can empty or something like that?

Hi BottleBoot,

Sounds nasty. Does the feedback screen keep popping back up? Then it's probably an Exception (application in a broken state, which it tries to recover from but may not be able to) rather than a crash.

I can't see any reports from your email address, but I'm not sure whether they're just not coming through or if you didn't include your email address. Could you copy the problem details from the crash dialog and send them directly to me?

Most persistent details are stored in prefs (~/Library/Preferences/com.google.code.sequel-pro.plist), but that'll also include you favourites list at the moment. But you could try moving it out of the prefs folder and letting the app create a new one - that will probably fix it, though I'd still like to fix the problem so it won't happen again :)

Cheers,
Rowan

Hi Rowan,

Thanks for the swift reply!
The problem was that each time I start up the program i got the
feedback screen. If i closed it I got it back one more time after I
tried to connect to a database, after that it crashed. I couldn't
press send, the button wasn't activated. Sometimes it was, but when i
pressed it the whole program crashed.

Weirdly enough it started working again now. I was going to take a
screenshot of the feedback screen status, but i don't have the problem
anymore.
I did however manage to save a crash report. I'll send it to you.

Thanks again, I really like Sequel Pro, it makes working with MySQL a
lot more fun!

Hiya,

Glad to hear it's working again - from your crash report it was actually the crash reporter code causing the problem (!!), so we'll look at that :)

Cheers!

As a fast check, if any caches are involved:

Log on to your machine as a different user and try again. If Sequel
Pro does not crash with that user account, a cache problem is
possible. Corrupted prefs are possible as well. If it does crash
still, look for some other problem, not linked to the user.

Works perfect again, like before:).
Thanks all for your replies and support!

Same problems.
I send a report and screenshot.
I'll notify when there's a change.
