Error file after restarting BMTP

[FlorianBome]

Thanks for all the further information. There are multiple issues:

AppleScript Error

Expected end of line but found identifier.

Re-reading this thread, it seems that this problem only occurred on Steves computer. I’m quite persuaded that it comes because Steve does not have "UFX+ Connection" installed. For more information, see for example this discussion. Sorry for derailing the discussion with my previous comment. I am not an AppleScript expert (just tried to help…).

@jordikt

But if BMTP is compiling and running AppleScripts as the AppleScript Editor does, I think this change will make no difference at all.

No, MIDI Translator runs them in a similar way as the osascript command, which may behave slightly different sometimes (e.g. regarding permissions, file paths, etc.).

@jordikt

Is it possible that the compilation or the execution of AppleScripts inside BMTP is not understanding correctly the end of lines?

Just to emphasize, there is no problem with end-of-lines in either your AppleScript code or MIDI Translator Pro’s handling of the scripts. AppleScript will report this error if it cannot find the application for the tell command.

Error file hs_err_pid...

@jordikt

This kind of error file is created everytime I restart Bome Midi Translator Pro (macOS 14.7.5 and BMTP 1.9.1 build 1064)

So are you saying that

1. You start MIDI Translator Pro
2. It starts up fine, but will also create this error file?

If so, this is strange behavior, because such hs_err_pid... files are crash files. But if MT Pro does start, I wonder where the crash is happening?

Questions:

• how do you start MT Pro? From the Finder, by double-clicking the icon on the desktop, by clicking its entry in the dock, from the Terminal?
• where do you find these hs_err_pid... files? in your user folder, on desktop, …?

Debugging start-up

Can you please start MT Pro from the terminal with the -debug parameter?
See here how to do that:

(Solved) Midi Translator Pro does not start on macOS 12.3

Hi Theo, thank you for the additional info and for the offer to test. You’re the second user who reported such a problem (not sure yet it’s the same cause). The strange thing is that for us, MT Pro runs fine on Apple Silicon with MacOS 12. So I’m not persuaded that it’s a problem of the bundled VM. Also, the VM starts first and it starts and controls the backend. So the VM is running to some degree on your system, too. Or do you have other evidence that this would be the root cause of the fre…

PS

@jordikt

The contact form did not accept any file with the .ips extension

It’s possible now. Dump files come in many different flavors and with different filename extensions… Thanks for sending them to us.
