Bug report

Hi,

I’ve been using InkDrop for a couple years now with no issue and suddenly it doesn’t want to load anymore. I was forced to upgrade to Monterey and this may have been the source of the issue.

Here is the brief logging I get:

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the report.
Looks like there are errors by some plugins as you can see in the error logs.
Can you please uninstall them?
You can simply remove the folders in /Users/jkary/Library/Application Support/inkdrop/packages/*.
Hope that helps.
