I downloaded MM 4 beta 7 last night.

Unfortunately I am not able to use/test it because of the following situation:

Condition: from the previous usage of Beta 6 I had left the UV panel closed so when I...

- Launch MM 7
- Click on the arrow on the upper right side of the panel 'Show/hide the UV view and preview'

Result:

- The panel turns white
- MM beta 7 crashes

To resolve the problem I tried the following:

- Launched MM v3 and opened the panel and then quit and opened beta 7
- Removing ALL MM preferences to see if that would reset the panel state to show the UV view and preview
- Removing MM 4 beta 7 and re-installing it

Result: same as indicated above

The workaround I found was to launch MM 4 beta 7 as logged in as a different user. This worked fine. So the problem is with something MM related in my own user directory.

Hope this is helpful and any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
That's weird, I never heard about such issue.

Removing ALL MM preferences

How have you done that ?
The problem is that macOS stores preferences in a cache, so removing the preferences file might not make any change until a reboot. Another solution is to execute in Terminal "killall -u your_user_login cfprefsd"
Do if you start Terminal.app, you can make a clean preference cleanup with

rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.garagecube.MadMapper.plist
killall -u $USER cfprefsd

Let me know if it solves the issue in your user account
Thanks for the report !
