Thanks for running the debug output. What I don’t see is where or how the hs_err_pid file is created. Is one created every time?
I don’t know either…
No, it’s an Apple thing. I’ll look into it, but I don’t think it has anything to do with your issue. May not be a problem at all.
This .sdef file is where MT Pro defines the available AppleScript actions it understands (to control MT Pro via AppleScript). It seems that there might be a typo or similar. I don’t think it has anything to do with your issue.
The error file is created in my users folder: /Users/jordi
The error file is not created when BMTP ‘starts’ (i.e. after rebooting the computer). It’s created only when I ‘restart’ BMTP (quit it and open it again)
It’s not correct what I said before: ‘This kind of error file is created everytime I restart Bome Midi Translator Pro’
The correct explanation is: ‘This error file is created sometimes after I manually restart Bome Midi Translator Pro’
BMTP doesn’t crash after the error file is created. So we could say it starts fine and create this error file (but I am not 100% sure that BMTP works fine after that).
This error file started to appear in my users folder a long time ago. As it had no impact in the system after being created, I was never aware when or why it was created. I remember to see 2 or 3 error files together in the users folder in different occasions.
After a lot of times of removing the error files after appearing again and again, I created a small applescript in the folder actions for the users folder, just to launch a notification every time a new file with the ‘error’ word was created. After that, I could realize that the error file was only created after some restartings of BMTP.
Every time I get that notification, I did these steps: 1- remove the error file, 2- quit BMTP, 3- start BMTP again. Usually the error file was not created again. If the error persists, rebooting the computer fixes the problem.
It is a weird behaviour, and I have been experiencing it from a long time ago. Finally I decided to post it in the forum as I am a little bit tired of it.
How do I restart BMTP?
I quit it clicking the icon of the menu bar > click ‘Quit’. I start it again basically using two methods:
1- Typing ‘BMTP’ in Spotlight and hitting ‘Enter’
2- Running an applescript with this code:
tell application "Bome MIDI Translator Pro" to activate
return 1
FYI, I have JRE 21.0.5 installed for LibreOffice Base (the database application from LibreOffice). Could it be related with the problem?
