Hello,
Thank you for your answer.
I installed it for the first time.
I never installed olds versions.
It crashes during start time.
I never did the app interface.

I willl try to make a screen picture but the crash is fast.
Juste n’oublie click the app icon, the app start and crash.

What data could be corrupt?
Anything I could try?

Have a good day.

Ok yes if you haven’t installed it before, then that probably isn’t the problem. Just trying to narrow down the cause.

Can you try running it from the MacOS Terminal and see what prints out?

Launching Kstars 3.6.0 (from Finder) then launching INDI server plus EKOS, from within Kstars, allows use of Cmd-F, and/or Pointing>Find Object... without a crash.

When you quit EKOS, Cmd-F and Pointing>Find Object... still works.

Quit INDI server, then use Cmd-F or Pointing>Find Object...: crash!

Yes, I found that a file in the data directory called asteroids.dat got changed a few months ago but was still working in 3.5.9. But then a change was made in kstars to support another change in that file by a developer between 3.5.9 and 3.6.0, but asteroids.dat was not updated again. But strangely enough, the older version of the file still works with this new change but the newer version does not. Sorry it is a little confusing. But yesterday I did inform the person of the issue and he is working on a solution.

So as a quick fix, could I copy asteroids.dat from the 3.5.9 build and put it into the 3.6.0 directory structure?

Or, how about deleting asteroids.dat altogether?

Thanks, Rob, for all your work!

Ok, two big fixes were just pushed for the find dialog bug and for the startup crash bug with the asteroids.dat file. I just rebuilt the dmg here:

Please try again.

Please note that now the minimum MacOS version will have to be 10.15 and not 10.13 unfortunately, to go along with KDE/craft's decision on that. Too many packages would have to be rebuilt for 10.13 and some may not work according to their stated reason for changing it. Sorry about that I was hoping to maintain support for 10.13 for awhile longer :-(
