Desktop app suddenly stopped working

šŸ›Bugs
#1

Iā€™ve been using the desktop Dynalist app on MacOS daily for months.

Today, computer restarted, and now the app wonā€™t open. Clicking the icon bounces it a couple of times but no window appears.

Iā€™ve tried re-downloading the app and copying over the old one in Applications - no change.

I can still log in and use Dynalist in Chrome itself, no problem - just not the app.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?

Environment

Desktop app 1.0.3
MacOs High Sierra 10.13.3

#2

Could you please try deleting the ā€œ~/Library/Application Support/Dynalist/dynalist/installā€ folder and see if that helps?

It may be caused by the recent desktop app shell update.

#3

That folder doesnā€™t exist:

ll ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dynalist/dynalist/

I see, sorry about that.

Could you please PM or email (support@dynalist.io) the latest .log file in that folder so we can investigate further? Thanks!

#5

Sent it

However, itā€™s now resolved: I removed the directory ā€œ/Library/Application Support/Dynalistā€ entirely, restarted, and was able to log in again and it now seems to work.

Thatā€™s nice, thanks a lot for figuring it out and for the update!
