Sorry to hear that the prefpane crashes in MTL. I gave it a quick look yesterday and it runs in debug mode inside xcode, but as soon as I start it from the apple menu: it crashes. FWIW I am not the only prefpane to crash in MTL apparently with the exact same context (GC forced disabled in MTL prefpane) ... I updated the xcode project and cleaned up some memory leaks in case someone wants to have a look though, and I will keep you folks updated about my progress.

Well, the preference pane was my first objc app I don't ask for anything, but if you are interested into joining the chameleon team, I can add you to the pref pane branch ... I would have tasks for you, like this nice smbios page (mine is minimum, yours is better imho) Now concerning the programming style, it is true that it can become a problem sometimes to maintain the sources but you can always count on help from others to polish it. Think about it : all of us united to produce the best software we can Yes, I know ; I'm a hippie ...

Hi Janek, this work seems very interesting. I like open source though. It seems a bit unfair to use open source software that is shared and not sharing the sources of it yourself ... I would be glad to reuse part of it instead of having to always write everything from scratch, time is precious. What do you folks think ?

Version 2.2.0 is out ! 2 new features added, see details on first page ... Enjoy

Version 459 updated, fixes some partitions with no name would not display, also fixes potential refresh problems when playing with hide, rename and default partitions textfields.

OK Version 2.1 455 Launched, added a more unit tests and made the flag edition api much more robust, I'd like to get some feedback now as it seems quite robust. Hint: To test the boot config without changing the real one create a copy and select the copy in the boot setup / boot config path menu, then open a Finder window in /Extra(or wherever your boot file is) and select the detail view with preview, now you can check in real time the mods happening ... Try hard edits on a copy, I just did that and couldn't break my flags in the boot config file.

Great improvements , Thanks !

Added a lot of bug fixes, and a new extract apple smbios feature ... EDIT: Updated localization for all previously broken languages.

Sorry that I can't answer you for now, I used to be very active on the booter too, but as for now, I'm just having a lot of fun with the prefpane. I'll come back to the booter later, because as you may know ; all I develop is always free + open source, so my main benefit has always been clearly the knowledge that I can get by doing instead of only learning... Presently, I love to get hands on objective c and cocoa , this is why I added quite a few features on the prefpane ... and it's only the beginning

Make sure you use the latest version because there was a problem with latest binaries (not up-to-date), I added a lot of Unit Testing modules that are located in the project named test_util, that might help you to figure out what's wrong too.

What you ran was the old version, This is because there was a pb generating the build (needs a release build and I only built a debug one sorry) Please test that rebuilt release version on my first page now and tell me if works better or different. If it fails, only PM the trace if it contains another more informative/different kind of error, eventually try to build the pref pane from the sources if you are capable of doing so ; otherwise I'm sorry that it bugs for you and I'll probably stop here.

Didn't find anything wrong here, but I think it might work better now, (hopefully at least not crash for you?) Please try the new r372 on my first post link Good luck!

I think it might have to do with your partitions structure I added quite a few things in about one weekend since my last contrib, so it smells the bug and I would seek first my code ...

That's very interesting thank you! It looks like from the stack trace that it crashes when it first tries to populate the main table view with the disk partition list, I would be curious about the following please dump the result of the following command on your system: diskutil list and pm it to me if it's a long listing. If that's not enough to get some ideas of what's wrong , I'll submit a small test application that should help us to understand what happened ...

Try open the console clear its content then remove and add again the pref pane (only for one user first) And log your console output here I'll try to help
