Hi all - curious if anyone else is currently having issues with PHD Log Viewer. I'm using an M1 Mac on Sequoia 15.5 and when I open the application and go to "open file", nothing happens. If I find the .txt file first and then select PHD Log Viewer to open it, the application opens but the file does not. I also re-downloaded it and it's still not working. Maybe it's not compatible with the latest Mac OS? Thanks!

Make sure you are trying to open the correct file. I think PHD2 creates two files, the actual log file and also a debug or error file. It will only open the log file.

Thanks Greg - I've tried multiple log files with no success. When using the GUI the "open file" command does nothing. PHD Log View is also no longer listed under "recommended applications" when I locate the log file first and select "open with". I have to manually select "all applications" and I'm then given a warning that it's not known whether PHD Log View can open the file. Never seen this before.

That is strange. Any way to post the log file here, maybe Google Drive or DropBox, and see if anyone else can open it?

 

Does a simple text app like NotePad or WordPad open the file?

I and someone else on an intel-based machine found that dragging and dropping the file onto the open application still works, despite the other typical methods not working. So, a bit of an odd one.
