I read the log you provided, see above. I'm guessing it has something to do with this "*" folder? Generally speaking, "*" is a special character that is not usually used in the names of files and folders.
If you replace the "*" with another normal letter, you should be fine.
I will keep an eye on this issue.

 

OCAT resides in a Folder called "OC Tools" on my desktop. But if the Update is downloaded/applied your app creates an Empty Folder on my Desktop called "OC" I didn't create any folder called "*" on my own.

It may be caused by a space in "OC Tools", you can change it to "OCTools" to remove the space and it should be fine.
If this is the case, it is a bug in OCAT, I will follow up on this bug later.

@ic005k Thanks for your reply.

• I renamed the Folder to "OCTools"
• Uninstalled V20210930 with App Cleaner
• Downloaded V20210929
• Put it in OCTools
• Updated it using the incremental update feature
• Now it works

As assumed, seems like it doesn't like spaces in folder names

Mm-hmm, I will analyze it later to see what aspect is the reason.

@ic005k I have a question about the "Synchronize functionality": to what build of OpenCore does this update to? The latest available nightly built or the latest official release on the github?

 

I think it would be great if you could switch between "official" Release and a "dev" mode . Especially useful for troubleshooting other people's configs.

 

Thanks.

It may be a bug in OCAT, please check if the path where OCAT is located contains any spaces?

Actually, I checked before posting if it related to the previous comments problem. But unfortunately it is not.

I am facing this problem on windows since the incremental update introduced. On macOS incremental update works as expected.

On windows when I click the download button on update window. The program crash when try to download the update.

 

If you need I am willing to test it further. But I don't know how to grab logs from windows for this app.

What is your Windows version, Win10 or Win11, I will check this part of the code.
Also, the crash log under Windows is not available at the moment.

That is to say, when you click "Download" on the update prompt page, the program crashes and the page with the download progress bar does not appear at all?

Download progress bar shows for a split second but looks inactive. like grayed out. then the app terminated all together.

Okay, understand. I will check this part of the program code, thanks for providing such detailed information.

This one works.

Download Upgrade Package from help menu downloads 5mb package. and close and upgrade also working.

@ic005k I think there is an issue with the field "ConsoleMode". It is supposed to be left blank. But OCAT sets it to Max automatically. And if you delete it  will not be deleted and remain as "Max" in the config.

Okay, the next release will set its default value to "".

[Guest 5T33Z0]

@ic005k like the new "Presets" feature. It would be cool to have a "Add to presets" function to build a database of ACPI Patches for example and sync it with github maybe.

The "preset" feature is completely open and you can edit it.
Click "Open database directory" on the toolbar, and there will be a "preset" directory with files such as DPAdd.plist, which you can edit just like config.plist.
You can also feel free to submit new presets in the post, and I will summarize them and put them on Github. Or you can submit them in OCAT's Github issues.
 

[ic005k]

@5T33Z0In fact, "Presets" is completely extracted from "Config.plist". Only the relevant contents of "Config.plist" are kept, for example, ACPI->Patch.

@ic005k Suggestion: separate Plus/Minus buttons from up/down buttons to avoid accidentally hitting minus (-) instead of (↑):
