crash opencpn 4.4.0 on mac

[charlie2]

Hi,
i've just installed the latest version of OpenCpn (4.4.0) on my Mac (10.11.6)
Every time i want to open the "user interface" in the "option" menu, OpenCpn crashes and shuts down.
anybody has an idea?

You can tell us how you have "installed" OpenCPN on your Mac?
OpenCPN does not come with an installer.
If you have started it out of the dmg box you will have problems of course.

i have dragged the file to "programs" and opened it there. i'm not sure if i did it correct?

[CarCode]

It should drag to a folder called "Applications". I don't know a folder "programs" in El Capitan.
Check if you have a file ~/Library/Preferences/opencpn/opencpn.ini
If yes, delete it.

Gerhard,
I think it is the same. i have a dutch version which says "programma's" so i presumed the folder was called "programs"
I am new with Mac (can you see??)
Can you tell me how to find this ini file?
Thank you!

Rob...
Open the terminal and issue the following command:

rm ~/Library/Preferences/opencpn/opencpn.ini

and hit Enter
Then start OpenCPN
If it keeps crashing, we would like to see the crash trace produced by OS X when the application closes.

Nope, you unfortunately didn't as my inbox was as usually full. Please try again...

Thanks

it seems i cannot send you the complete file cause it is bigger than 20000 characters.
Is it possible to send it via email?
