Hi, everybody...
First of all, I would like to thank and congratulate all the team in charge of developing this software. This latest update looks fantastic.
I have downloaded version 3.5.0 for OSX. Twice. but when I double-click the image file (kstars-3.5.0.dmg) I get the following message in my MBP, which translated comes to say something like:
"The following disk images could not be opened
Kstars-3.5.0
Reason: This file or directory does not exist"

I'm probably doing something wrong but I don't know what it could be. Could someone be so kind as to help me? Thank you in advance.

Let me see if I understand this. So you downloaded the dmg file, and you saw the file, either in your downloads or desktop or somewhere else on your computer. Then, you double clicked the file that you saw on your computer. And your computer said that the file does not exist? I have to say that I haven’t seen this one before, except when I am working with a failed hard drive and I try to delete or open a file that I see in a folder that is damaged on the hard drive. But that does not sound like the issue here at all, since you just downloaded it, so these are sectors on your hard drive that were just written to a moment ago. I can do some google searches about what else could cause an issue like this, but right now I don’t know. . .

I just took a look, most of the posts were about issues with incomplete downloads or incompatible formats, but none like the issue you reported so far.

I found two like your issue.

They said restarting fixed it. Does this help?

Following up on this, to get KStars to launch from within QT on OS X I had to uncheck the "Add build library search path to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH " option from the Run section in the Projects

Yes, that has been necessary for awhile. Did you see the instructions about that in the readme file? I added the instructions to do that several months ago.

Whoops. I see it now. Thanks.

Simulator Plate solving in .28 seconds. wow.

It is even faster when run with “release” code without the debug symbols, but yeah with debug symbols, your solving time sounds about right.

Success!!! Thank you very much, Rlancaste

Hi Rob,

I downloaded www.indilib.org/jdownloads/kstars/kstars-3.5.0.dmg and have been testing on MacOS 11.0.1

So far looks like everything works (though I had to copy my .indi/10micron_config.xml to get TCP Connection Mode, see Mac GUI thread).

Jasem asked me in the other thread to verify I was running stable not beta. The "About KStars" popup still shows beta 2020-11-20, but I downloaded just this morning. I guess this is just cosmetic though.

See attached screen grab.

Yes, I think I probably ran the build script prior to Jasem changing that label and message. So the beta statement would be inaccurate, but the message that it was built on 11/20 is probably completely accurate, since that is automatically generated when I build it. I have to build the DMG on my computer and then upload it to the website. The program and its code are constantly changing and improving, but the releases can be considered a snapshot of the current state of the software at that time.

Just installed 3.5.0 (11/20/20 build, say pre-release but I guess that's just a typo), and it crashes immediately after I try to add the profile configurations I had before upgrading. It seems all GUI related because the drop-down for profiles doesn't seem like it's working properly.

Thanks,
Hatim
