I acknowledge that it is my own fault, and that I shouldn’t have upgraded to a beta but is there a trick to get 5.6 running on macOS 15?

Editing materials isn't working right for me, I can change the code, but it doesn't seem to update the shader itself. I've reverted back to 5.5.5 where it is working fine.

We're not aware of any issue with macOS 15. What's your problem ?

I can't reproduce the issue. Are you editing a Material or an FX ?

Hi Matt

I'm still not able to launch MM (5.6.0) on MacOS 15 beta (24A5320a) as it hangs. Probably a trivial thing with a settings file or permissions but I can't figure it out.
What kind of log/dump could I provide that would make it easier to understand what's happening?

Best
