Q: MainStage 3.2 hangs at "Loading Plugins"
I had "automatic updates" turned on (no longer, I've since changed that). With automatic updates turned on, MainStage 3.2 got installed. At first I was able to load my concert file, at least the very first time. I opened the concert file, made a few small changes (normal kinds of things), and then I saved the concert and closed MainStage 3.2. This is where the trouble began. The next time I tried to load the concert, MainStage 3.2 hangs indefinitely at "Loading Plugins". I let it sit for about 20 minutes, it never loaded the concert. I am able to load smaller concerts, but the one I use most of the time is large, and I can't load that concert now with version 3.2. I've used MainStage 3.1.1 for quite some time with no issues. I have an iMac with 2 internal drives, a 250GB SSD (the Mac OS 10.9.5 and all my apps live there), and a 1TB hard drive with all my audio samples. I have 110GB free space on my SSD, and 725GB free on my hard drive. I have 16GB of RAM on this machine. So as you can tell, it's a well built machine. I've used it for 3 years now with no major issues with MainStage. However, now with version 3.2, I can't load my main concert file, it just hangs at "Loading Plugins". With this problem, I've restored from a backup, going back to version 3.1.1. After my restore to 3.1.1, now everything works great. Has anyone else had problems with loading concerts using 3.2?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
