Mac OS X: Java 6 or 7?

[routeconverter]

just tried it again, zooming in and out or moving the map around. Couldn't provoke a problem.

Glad to hear that.

But: During the weekend I used RC 2.14 with Laptop and external display. Today I tried it without the external display and RC wouldn't start up. Hat to break it down by keyboard- shortcuts.

That shouldn't happen. Actually I had to implement quite a lot of code to make the RouteConverter window appear at the same position and size and on the same display (for the Java devs: SingleFrameApplication#createFrame), so I'm wondering if Oracle's Java is somewhat buggy.

Please send me the log file or do Help/Send Errorreport... I'm searching for log lines that contain "Graphics device is" and ""Screen size is "

If you'd like to work, I'd recommend you delete the x,y,width,height,device keys of the preferences slash.navigation.converter.gui
I hope this helps to locate them: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/67586...n-mac-os-x

The same thing here on my system. There is no zoom problem present.

The difference between the app.zip and the dmg-Image is the creation process. Without a mac it is difficult because of security policy by apple and depends on the tools the programmer is using. I'm in contact with Christian to find a solution for this without changing the build system or add a new one. But at the moment I got a big time eater with a high priority. So stay tuned. There are a couple of different ways, but Christian has no Apple computer to check it out. :-)

The preference handling you refer to on stackoverflow runs into big trouble if you start a java program with a normal user. I tried the solution for RyCON and it doesn't work on the system, but on the user area. So Christian have to store the preferences on the user level. I didn't checked the code for his way...

Implementing a "last window position" has to check first if the current monitor is still available. I got the same trouble sometimes in the office with software on the laptop, when working outside the office and without the external display.

Hi, I'm posting here as I'm on a Mac & not quite sure what the issue is........ I'm using OS Sierra 10.12.6 & was using version 2.21 of route converter everything was working fine until 2 days ago & now the program will not load at all, the program loads onto a white screen then freezes every time.

I have not done any updates since it worked fine & have tried the last 3 versions of the software & get the same result in each case, the only thing I can think of is I have to over ride the OS as it says the program is from a unidentified developer.

I have tried clearing the java cache & using the webstart option as well as the downloadable version, but still no luck just " application not responding "

Thanks

That sounds strange. Typically these problems are related to changes somewhere.

Did you try the Windows sequence? Retry, Reboot, Reinstall

Yep I have tried deleting the program, restart & re-install........ same out come " program not responding"

UPDATE>>>>>>

After some experimentation I found that if I loaded the offline version 2.22 that works, so while the offline version is running I loaded the online version 2.21 & that loads as normal but if I close the offline version the online version fails to load.

I hope that Is understandable.

I hope that Is understandable.

I think I understand what you're doing but I don't understand the reasons why this happens.

Basically, unless the offline version is running the online version becomes non responsive on start up.

UPDATE........

What ever is different in 2.21.2 it has fixed the above issue
