Still crashing :(

How I created the problem:
I had 10.5.8 then upgraded to SL(a clean install). I copied the App Support files over from my TM backup and no other files. Re-installed the app then the problems started.

Also I think the crashes happen while the app is opening when in Grid View. Im unsure if it crashes at all in List View.

EDIT: I could be wrong. FC is crashing alot less with the previous update.
EDIT2: Actually it seems to have stopped crashing. This build did crash first time I tried but seems to be working now. *Fingers crossed*

many thanks

My problem began when I Installed SL. I have 10.6.1
FC crashes while the app is opening before I try to do anything.

Also got error "Fontcase was unable to deliver the crahslog." (spelling error correct).

p.s. I tried new betas

I have Snow Leopard and Fontcase crashes everytime I start it up. It crashes immediately (while generating previews). I will not reinstall fonts again, I already did that recently but I have tried reinstalling app, changing settings, etc.

I will gladly give you any error log messages if you need them. Let me know which logs and I will email them to wherever.

I think I may know what is causing this. It could be caused by FC crashing while you are deleting fonts.

I tried to delete 2 fonts and FC crashed on me. When FC relaunched the 2 fonts I tried to delete were now flashing 'generating preview'. I quit restarted and still 'generating preview'. I checked my .vault and the fonts were not actually there.

Also, I recently did a major clearout of unwanted fonts and alot of them seem to have returned after one of the updates.

Latest update does not fix this for me. :(

It has fixed a problem I was having with Quicklook style previews though. :)

I am having an issue with Previews too. When I view a font and press space all is well but if I then press the arrow keys to view other fonts the preview pane is completely blank. If I press space again I can see the correct font getting smaller.

@Caleb

thanks for letting me know. I just renamed my fonts back to their original name to fix the flashing previews.

I have not used ExpanDrive for any proper work because of this (+due to the CSSEdit bug).

Will this feature be in Expandrive 2.0? and will the feature be on its way "any day now".

Unsupported fonts now have flashing previews

Previously if a font was unsupported it would appear as the default font. After update my unsupported fonts flash "Generating Preview" very quickly, its annoying, its too fast. When I try to preview the font it says null(void) 0pt. Also, I could still activate unsupported fonts previously but now I cannot activate the flashing/unsupported fonts.

Is Fontcase trying to preview the font but is having difficulties or is this supposed to happen?

EDIT: I just renamed a font name and font variation and now FC cannot generate a proper preview of the font. The font previews fine with original name but I get a flashing preview when i rename the font.

gemmes asked a question in Bohemian Coding on July 15, 2009 16:19:

How do I remove files from Fontcase Library.vault?

I have deleted many files from within my Fontcase Library.vault folder and they still appear in Fontcase. Why is this?

I have far too many fonts in FC which is causing me to see the spinning beachball of doom whenever I look/scroll around my library and when I delete more than 10 fonts at a time from within the app.

EDIT: Even after I click on the Generate Previews I can see previews of fonts that should not be there.

EDIT 2: When I click view in Finder FC cannot find the fonts. So where are the Previews coming from?

I had this problem a while ago and I have not used ExpanDrive since (also because I cannot change permissions still). I hope it is fixed soon.
