UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Version 42 works fine, but version 43 won't even open. The following message appears in the Terminal.
My iMac is a few years old, and unfortunately, I can't upgrade to a newer version of macOS.
Hi Anofeles @anofeles,
Thank you very much for reporting your issue.
First of all, how are you starting APP? The error seems to indicate that you are not starting it in the supported way. You simply need to click the APP icon in the Launchpad or double-click the icon in the Applications folder. The error indicates that you are starting it from the commandline with probably the wrong command or even the wrong java JDK, not the JDK that is shipped with the installation.
If you want to run it from the commandline, do it in the following way:
open -a /Applications/AstroPixelProcessor.app
This ensures that APP is started as we intend to and can support.
Further more, 2.0.0-beta43 is using new internal memory controls, it should work on all the systems where beta42 also worked. But if the system has little RAM memory, there is a chance that beta43 did not work properly. Hence, I released 2.0.0-beta44 this morning that should have fixed that issue.
So please update the 2.0.0-beta44 and let me know if all is okay now 😉

Yes, clicking on the icon is always my first choice for launching the APP. But when I tried it (several times), it didn't work, so I also tried right-clicking and selecting "Open" (that didn't work either), and as a last resort, I went to the Applications folder -> Astropixelprocessor -> contents -> MacOS -> universalJavaApplicationStub
This afternoon I’ll try beta 44 to see if I have any luck.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: beta 44 works fine. Thanks...
