I've installed Ploader onto my iMac and the first time I used it, it worked great. Now, when I open it and login, it accepts my admin ID and password, but then shuts down. Any suggestions on what might be going wrong?

Regards...

close pLoader, open a Terminal and paste:

Code:

cd $HOME
rm -rf "Library/Application Support/.pLoader"

Then open pLoader again

How do I "open a terminal?"

Thanks.

okay-this worked! Once. I have to keep doing this everytime I want to open PLoader. Is there a more permanent solution?

Thanks,
Liz

Hmm I've really never scripted for an iMac, but as the core shares lots with unix, I might be able to help. However, on linux I would fix it as follows:

Create a script somewhere in your $PATH with a nice name. I will call it "myploader"

Code:

#!/bin/bash

PLoader
cd $HOME
rm -rf "Library/Application Support/.pLoader"

Next you have to make this script executable with "chmod +x /path/to/my/script/myploader".

Finally I guess you want a shortcut for it, somewhere on the desktop. I googled for it, but did not find how to do that on a mac. Again, on linux, it would be something as running this from a terminal:

Code:

cd $HOME/Desktop
ln -s /path/to/my/script/myploader .

Hope this helps for you. If the shortcut does not work, at least you now only need to run "myploader" from terminal, to launch PLoader, and remove the problematic folder afterwards...
