Acorn hangs at startup

Acorn
1

After opening a number of files at once, Acorn 7 became unresponsive. So after a few minutes of unresponsiveness, I force quit it.

Now when I try to launch Acorn, it is immediately unresponsive and I never see any images or UI or menu bar appear. In the Dock control-click context menu for Acorn, I see the names of the files I had open before. So my interpretation is that something about one of these files is causing Acorn to crash, and Acorn is trying to open these files at startup.

What I really need right now is a way to restart with a clean slate, make Acorn forget the files I had open. rm -rf’ing “~/Library/Application Support/Acorn” doesn’t do it nor does trashing the app, downloading and restarting a new binary. Any ideas?

You’ll want to do rm -rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.flyingmeat.Acorn7.savedState

Let me know if that works or not!

I didn’t get a chance to try this, but restarting my Mac seemed to clear everything up.

Thanks for the tip!

I’m glad it worked out regardless. Let me know if it happens again!
