Dear Dr. Koichi Momma,

I am using VESTA Ver. 3.4.6 on macOS.
After updating of the OS from 10.14.3 to 10.14.4,
VESTA does not draw anything in the "Graphics Area".
The "Plot" tab of "Powder Diffraction Pattern" is also not working.

I would be happy if VESTA would become available on the latest macOS.

with Best regards,
Shinichi Nishimura

The same it's happening to me. After updating to OS 10.14.4 VESTA is no longer able to draw anything in the Graphics Area. 
Thank you for your help,
Luca

I confirmed the issue. I found a quick workaround but I cannot compile the new source code right now because Intel compiler also stopped working after I upgraded to 10.14.4. So please wait a little while.

I uploaded a new build of v.3.4.6 for macOS on
http://jp-minerals.org/vesta/archives/testing/

I changed build environment from Intel compiler to clang because my old Intel compiler stopped working on macOS 10.14.4. I tried to link everything statically but not sure if it runs on other machines, or older OS. So please send your feedback to the forum if it works or not on your environment.

Many Thanks for quick response. 

The graphical representation works but there are some problems with utilities such as 'standardization of crystal data'.

Best,

Dear Dr. Koichi Momma,

The new building doesn't work on my macOS.
I attach a screen capture while VESTA is starting.
Please advise me some solution.

Best regard,

Dear Koichi,

I have recently come across this same issue after updating to macOS 10.14.4. This linked version of vesta however does not work for me and gives the same response as Unnop Srikulwong's screenshot.

Kind regards,
Lucy

Would you please try removing the following directory and execute VESTA again?
~/Library/Application Support/VESTA/

If still not working, please let me know information about graphics hardware. It can be checked from "About This Mac," -> "System Report..."

Thank you,
Koichi

Thank you for reporting the problem.
I confirmed the problem and I'm still trying to find out a solution.

On debug build, that feature runs with no problem and that makes it rather difficult to solve the problem.

Best regards,
Koichi

Dear Koichi,

Deleting this directory and executing VESTA appears to have resolved the issue for me. All working fine now.

Many thanks,
Lucy

Dear Dr. Koichi Momma,

The new build is working well but does not read U_ij parameters in SHELXL generated CIFs.
The attached CIF is an example.

In some other formats including the ICSD generated CIF, VESTA reads U_ijs correctly.

Best Regards,
Shinichi Nishimura

Dear Koichi,

I tried installing the testing version and the problem is still NOT solved.

I am on Mojave 10.14.4 and my graphic card info is: 
Radeon Pro Vega 20 4 GB

Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB


And strangely I can't find the VESTA folder under the directory ~/Library/Application Support/, even if I show all hidden files. Thanks.

Vesta does not run with the Retina display. Use a regular LCD display.

Hi Dr. Momma,
I am also using a Mac on 10.14.1, and even downloading the debug version. did not fix the problem. How do I delete something from my directory? And if that doesn't work what else could I do?
Best,

Dear Mr. Momma,

I am having the same issues here. I am using a macOS Mojave 10.14.5, I downloaded the last updated version of VESTA but still there is no plot on the Graphics Area.
Although, if I export as picture I can get a .tif image in my directory.

Kind regards,
Renata
