This has happened quite a few times to me, but it seems to be random, and happens maybe once in fifty times if I had to make an educated guess. Thankfully, I’m almost always able to recover anything I didn’t save by loading up an auto-saved backup file, which is very good. But this behaviour is frustrating nevertheless.
Attached are a couple of crash logs that I managed to save, if they help at all.
WaveLab never searches for plugins while audio is playing because WaveLab searches for plug-in at the very start of the application and not later. Therefore, the context you describe must be something else. Maybe you load a plugin, and it tries a copy-protection procedure.
Secondly, usable crash logs are not in PDF form. You must find them like this:
Open
• Finder > Go > Application > Utilities > Console.app
• Then see “Crash Logs” on the left side.
• Right click on the WaveLab crash entry, and choose “Reveal in Finder”.
• Then send me that file.
Sorry about the pdf’s, I just copied the text when the crash occurred and saved it as a text file. I could only find the latter of them via the console.
I see what you mean now. This is you who searches for plugins, not WaveLab
I had a look at the crash log. But I can’t really understand what is going on. Did you search for a particular key sequence? And in that case, is it reproducible?
It’s not reproducible, or at least I haven’t found a way to do so or identified any patterns.
I might be delusional, but I have a feeling that it happens most often when I search for a plug-in starting with the letter “s”, but I can’t see how that would have anything to do with this
I’ll send more crash logs when this happens again.
