CMYK Sliders crashing
-
After installing VectorStyler 1.2.074 for Mac (Intel) on a 2012 Mac mini running macOS 10.13 High Sierra, initial install went smoothly. When setting up my workspace and changing the colour palette from RGB sliders to CYMK sliders, it started with large noticeable lags and the "spinning beachball". Eventually crashing the app and my computer. Having to force quit to exit. I deleted VectorStyler and other connected preference files. Then reinstalled VectorStyler 1.2.074 for Mac (Intel) again. Followed by reattempting to set up my workspace with changing from RGB sliders to CYMK sliders the bug arose again. The bug continues to be with using CMYK or any colour palette other than RGB.
The bug only manifests on my older 2012 Intel Mac mini with OS 10.13 High Sierra. I have a newer 2023 Mac Mini M2 Pro with OS 15.5 Sequoia which is uneffected.

Did this issue occur with previous VS version on the old Mac?
what was the last version where CMYK worked?Two things to try:
- In Settings -> Performance -> uncheck the "Use Host Color Conversion" checkbox.
- try setting a different (global) CMYK color profile in Styles -> Color Settings.

Thank you for your response. After trying multiple paths I am waving the white flag and retreating. The problems coming from the installation were growing with forced exits & crashes. I've delete Vectorstyler and what connecting files I found on my older Intel mac. Then did Disk Utilities repairs in Recovery Mode. I will stick to using VectorStyler on my 2023 Mac Mini M2 Pro(Silicon).
Regarding your inquiry about, "last version where CMYK worked?", I had not installed any previous versions. Just installed VectorStyler 1.2.074 for Mac (Intel) a couple of days ago.

@oleGraf Did you try the disabling the "Use Host Color Conversion" checkbox?

@VectorStyler
Sorry to report that I could not access that option, "Use Host Color Conversion" checkbox. VectorStyler kept failing to load and hung repeatedly, crashing my computer. I had to forcible shut down my mac twice. It got a little distressing. I do appreciate your interest and support.PS - I want to add that VectorStyler has a deep selection of tools, and I do enjoy working with it. I do love it's focus on a true vector based approach.

@oleGraf Got the crash reports of VS when running on MacOS High-Sierra.
I think there are issues here with Metal (not well supported for Intel GPUs of that version)
If you can start with a fresh VS install (and no user data, workspace or settings) and disable Metal use in Settings -> Performance (for this machine use OpenCL or Software mode) this might help.
