Sunrise V0.42j (mac) no longer updating
I am a long time sunrise user (PC and just recently -- January -- switched to apple). I have never had a problem before until Friday. Now Sunrise just freezes and will not update. I wonder if it is a java problem for two reasons:
1) java files were auto updated on Friday 2) sunrise icon turns into the java icon (coffee cup with pen) when the app freezes Anyone else having this problem recently? I know the majority of users on this forum are PC users and, Laurens, it seems like you are spending most of your time on Sunrise XP understandably - but there has to be a mac user somewhere Thanks. |

Thanks for confirming the problem. Now we just have to trouble solve. I guess the best answer would be to go back to the last version of java?

Sorry for the bump Anyone have a good idea (or Mac guru on how to revert to the last java -- a google search did not do a lot for me).

I e-mailed the person responsible for the Mac distribution. Hopefully, this is resolved soon. Can't help you out, as I don't have a Mac.

Hello,
I looked into it, and I have found a workaround. The downside is that you will _always_ have to Force Quit Sunrise (it will always hang on quit). I need to do more tests to find a better solution. Workaround: - Control-click on the Sunrise application package - Choose "Show Package Contents" - In Contents/MacOS/, there is a file named "runsun". Open it* in TextEdit (in plain text mode, not rich text mode) or TextWrangler or any other text editor - Before "-Djava.library.path", add "-Djava.awt.headless=true ". - Save, close, and Sunrise should now convert pages just fine. *Or replace the file with the one attached to this post. |

Well, it seems that that's all I can do for now. I think I've tested every possible solution, and the one above is the one that works best. I'll upload a new binary with the workaround, even though I don't like releasing an app that crashes on quit.
On a side note, I still use JPluck 2.1.6b, and it works fine (but slower than Sunrise). |

I will confirm that your fix works too Sawtooth. I just installed the Java update this morning. Shoot, I wish I would have saw this thread first. .

I'm not on a Mac but
I too have noticed problems with Sunrise v 0.42J no longer working properly. I run it on Windows XP SP2. I've noticed problems over the last few days, in which my normal Auto Update won't happen -- Sunrise is running, but when I notice that the Auto Update hasn't run, and switch Sunrise to an active window, then Sunrise quits, without updating. I have to restart it and then it immediately Auto Updates.
This isn't a huge problem, and I'll put up with it, but I wonder if it relates to some system change. I'm not aware of getting any Java update recently, but I may not have noticed it since my Windows setup automatically updates itself regularly (group policies require it). I tried switching to Sunrise XP a while ago, but it was not working as I wanted then -- no "Send to Sunrise" was the show stopper. I've read that Sunrise XP now has that capability. Perhaps its time.

Any news on a new release? I just forced quit sunrise again, as it was using over 100 megs of ram while not doing anything.

Well, I haven't tested Sunrise in a while (I'm still using JPluck 2.1.6b which works perfectly --and fast, now that I've got a new Mac-- for my needs, even on Intel); maybe one of the recent updates broke something.
I've been working full time for the last few months, so I can't say when/if I will release an update. I tried updating the package with the latest version of SWT last month, but it was still not working properly (crash on quit or during updates). |

Well, Mine is working great.
It updates just fine, and as long as I right click on the dock icon and select "Quit" it quits without the crash. |
