Hi,
So my not so old Mac mini intel computer died right before the Xmass holiday, and I had to get a new computer.  That meant resetting up Pix on this computer.  After I re-downloaded Pix onto the new computer, and reinstalled all of my add on apps, ie, BlurX, StarX, Graxpert, etc., I was up and running again.  This all worked for a few days, when low and behold, Pix started to crash, either right as I was started WBP from the script pulldown, or a while after it had begun processing my images.  I tried multiple times and every time eventually Pix totally crashed every time.  The program actually shut down.  I deleted the downloaded version, and re-downloaded Pix from their website...same thing keeps happening.  I mean, maybe there are some residual pieces of the program left on the computer after I delete it, although I delete the entire file from the applications section of my hard drive.  Any suggestions on why this might be happening, would really be helpful!  Currently I am drop boxing my files to a friend.  He processes on Pix, and then sends me the file so I can go to Photo Shop!  Nice of him, but would love to get it working for me!  Thanks for any suggestions!  Clear Skies

Have you posted your issue to PI forum (fastest way to get any help). Additionally, you should look at the post-crash info to see what is actually crashing. Finally, install a previous version of the same PI an see what happens. I'd never use WBPP but my new-ish M2 does handle PI without issues (but haven't tried yet the latest version).

All good suggestions.  I have not posted on the PI forum, but will give that I try.  Thanks!

As mentioned above, the best way to get help is in the PI forum.

I use WBPP (PI version 1.8.9-2 build 1593) on my Mac mini M1 all the time without any problems.

thank you for your suggestions.  I try to find help in the community, wherever I can get it!  I did re download the older version, and am back up and running with that.  Still waiting to be invited into the PIX forum.  I am a user, but I guess the forum is a separate registration. So until I get that, I will have to wait to ask why it might now be working on my Mac mini M2...which I love by the way...PIX runs wicked fast on that platform!  Thanks again
Mark
