[Ham-Mac] RUMlog issues (Bob Nielsen)

[Dave Wright]

Glad to hear you got it working, Bob.   

I've seen those version conflicts with another ham here locally who had very similar problems; old and new versions mixing and causing issues. I'm sure Tom can say for certain, but I do believe there are plist incompatibilities between some of the older and newer versions.

After removing RumLogOwn.plist and the existing log it appears to be working just fine. Perhaps something changed in the file syntax which caused the crash.

Unknown DXCC ??” and another popup says “An exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. The application must shut down.” I did enter a valid DXCC callsign and I suspect that the error is because the program could not find DXCC.rsd. However, DXCC.rsd is located in the RUMlog-5.2.6 folder in my home directory so I don’t understand why the error occurred.
