Hi Paul

No. Unfortunately it didn't change anything. And....I'm now on my main computer, not on my laptop (which I've been using for the past 5 weeks). I was hoping that I would get a different result by changing computers. I'm now on an iMac with 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 processor. And I have 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory. Not sure that's pertinent, but I thought I'd pass it along.

Interesting that running the Directory Manager after deleting the preferences did not create a new .plist file. Does that surprise you at all?

I also have a com.vsl.vsldirs1.plist.lockfile in my preferences but it seems to be unimportant. It was last modified in 2012. I think I'd be safe to remove it, don't you?

Further, after running the Directory Manager I ran VEP6 and then Digital Performer 9 and tried to load up the big file I've been using. VEP hung at 89% loaded and I had to force it to quit. Just not sure what to do next.

Hi, 

Try to delete "com.vsl.vsldirs1.plist" in /Library/Preferences. Does that help?

Hello Daerp

It is good to know that I am not the only one to have this problem

I am downloading Xcode to analyse the Plist

I will report back when I have finish (download is 1 hour)

Further to this, I tried again this morning and VEP6 hung at 87% loading the file. I've attached a screenshot in case you see anything untoward.

Thanks for this Paul. I feel awkward writing with all these problems. I love VSL. But I'm spending a lot of time troubleshooting.

Il you look in the activity monitor you will see the VM increasing 

My MAC PRO hang after 90 % of loading and 4 GB of VM

I could not even force quit the task. I had to force switch off

It is quite normal as there is 108 VI in my orchestral template  

All VI are loaded with levell II preset ; so if I do not reduce the preload buffer size ; it is going to use much more than all my 32 GB.

I had been working with the preload buffer size set at 2048 because my VSL LIB is on a raid of 3 x SSD connected to a SATA III interface

Update.

Just tried running everything on my laptop. The Directory Manager issue is still there but VEP does not hang when I load the big file.

But....on my iMac VEP hangs. Attached are a couple of files I saved from my Activity Monitor. Maybe that will help you help me figure this out.

Cheers,

VSL is not working on Saturdays and Sundays

Hope they found a fix toomorow.

Hi again Paul

Sorry for the multiple replies. I'm very determined to figure this out. As I said in the other post, I deleted the .plist and here is the most recent file displayed with the new preference and some information in the panel beside it that may be of use...???

Good news. VSL has discovered a compatibiltiy issue with Sierra and is going to post an update to VIP with a correctly functioning Directory Manager.

In the meantime Paul K sent a link to a beta copy of the update.... and it works!

Thanks very much for figuring this out, Paul.
