Accordance crashes when I try to create a new folder for my group.

Accordance crashes when I try to create a new folder for my group.

Are you using ver 10.1? What you see in the video was done in real time running Mac OS 10.7.5. Everything worked as expected.

[Julie Falling]

I'm crashing, too, instantly. It doesn't matter whether I use a keyboard shortcut or the gear menu. Running Accordance 10.1 & OS 10.8.2, late 2008 unibody MBP.

By the way, your video was really nice, and so was Darin's. I'd like to implement the ideas, but the crash issue has got to be fixed first.

Yes, I am using 10.1. I have the same experience that Julie describes.

[Chuck Schneider]

For whatever reason, I don't seem to have this experience. I was able to follow the instructions all the way through. (Acc 10.1, 10.8.2 OSX)

Accordance crashes in my case too. Running Accordance 10.1 and OSX 10.8.2 on Retina Macbook Pro 15"

[Fr. Rich]

I have the same computer and software specs as Lung

[Ruben Gomez]

Okay. We'll have to let the developers take a look at what's going on here...

Hi guys,
what you need to do is select an item in the group, not the group title.
Then when you create a folder it will work fine.
So this will cause a crash
 Workspace.png   52.23K   56 downloads
(see how the title item is selected)

whereas this one works fine
 Workspace-1.png   56.44K   63 downloads
(see how the subitem is selected)

Of course the flaw in the plan is if you do not yet have a subitem created. So how do you do that!

Well, the easiest way is to just add anything to get started. So, select a library item (text or tool) and right/ctrl-click it. Then the fifth item down is "Add to user group" which has a submenu. CHoose "[New Group]" and it should create an untitled group with your library item in it (you can do this with multiple items).

Anyway, once you have the first group created, you can use the first workaround to make more.

Strangely enough, I can't seem to reproduce the crash.

Hi Chuck,
that's interesting. I wonder what the difference is?
So many variables....

[Fr. Rich]

That did not help. I still don't have a new folder in "My Groups" but I have an extra, unwanted folder that I can't get rid of in "Hebrew Tools."

[Julie Falling]

Ken - I had folders in My Groups until I replaced my preferences from the Mac mini. So I'm one of those who has no work-arounds.

[Fr. Rich]

I don't have any folders in "My Groups" either.

[Fr. Rich]

OK. After reading these posts and then checking the Help files for "My Groups" I learned how to create and populate a new group for "My Groups." Now everything works just as Ruben demonstrated.
