BUG: "Logos quit unexpectedly" -- except it didn't
As I said at http://community.logos.com/forums/p/82138/583394.aspx#583394 I'm still seeing crashes and warning messages that were supposed to be fixed.
Here's an example of the latter. I did a perfectly normal 'Quit' of the program -- no sign that it was crashing -- but the next time I open I get a "Logos quit unexpectedly" message.

It looks like the "crash" log that was sent was an old one from 4-6-2014 when you were running 5.2a (5.2.1.0067).
Would you mind running the following command from Terminal and pasting the output here? (You'll need to make sure it's all on one line)

The last Logos crash report Apple created in DiagnosticReports is from that date. As you could see, the last in the Logos Logging folder is from yesterday, but 0 K (I'm pretty certain I didn't have any crash yesterday). None from today, when this 'unexpected quit' is supposed to have taken place.

The problem is that the latest crash report file (Logos_2014-04-06-234152_XXs-Mac-mini.crash) was modifed on Apr 13 at 9:38 PM, which was after it was originally submitted. Currently, if a crash report is modified it will get resubmitted because the crash reporter looks for a more recently modified crash report than the last time it sent a report.
I'll file a bug to look into checking for the creation time, rather than the modification time.

I tried to take a stroll down memory lane (a k a Time Machine) to see if it had always been the case that Apple's crash reports got 'modified' by later crashes. Turns out that the entire Logs folder is missing from Time Machine. And I haven't excluded it. Surely that isn't as it should be?

Thanks.
I also had a hang/force quit shortly after my last post, but I've kind of given up about you ever fixing those for me.

Have a look at this resurrected thread. The "old man" is back. The zombie bug returns from the grave? Whatever. Personally, I think of it as an extra splash screen, designed to annoy both users and developers in equal measure.

Does not seem to have annoyed developers as much as it does us users [8-|]

Jack,
The developers occasionally introduce crashes and fix them in the normal course of development, so in Debug builds (as opposed to Release builds that we ship to end users) the crash reporting dialog is disabled. Plus, we don't want to fill up our crash reports database with spurious, one-off errors that only one developer experienced working on his machine. So, hopefully that provides an explanation as to why we didn't notice this sooner.
But, believe me, bugs in our app do bug those of us who work on this app. It's a matter of personal and professional pride.
This should be fixed in SR-4.

It was fixed in SR-5. Now it's back again in SR-6. [:'(] This is a real Romans 7 "old man"! It just doesn't want to die. This isn't just a bug; it's a cockroach! Must be Wall-E's pal. [;)]

Alan,
It looks like that crash log that was submitted was dated:
Date/Time: 2014-03-26 08:31:22 +0000
Do you have a crash report in /Library/Logs/ or ~/Library/Logs with "Logos_2014-03-26" in the name? If so, what's the full name of the file?

Sorry, I'm not at my office desktop today but I'll be back tomorrow. I'll try to dig it out then. Puzzled about the date though. I posted the new log report just the other day.
