Trouble with plugins - O Charts

Got a new computer recently (Macbook M1 pro), and I've only just now gotten around to getting OpenCPN loaded up and set up with all the plugins I want, but I'm having some issues.



First of all, when I go to the plugin tab none of the plugins show their names or any text unless I click on them, just their icons. Weird, but I can work around that.



Second, and my real issue, is that I can't find the O-charts plugin. Did it get removed? I've tried looking in both the master and the beta catalogs (though I'm not convinced the list actually changed when I changed the catalogs).


Any thoughts?

This is how it looks on my Mac. Can we see similar screenshot from your system?

Okay, so I played with the color scheme, and the text appears in the dark modes, so that's a bit odd, but I can deal with it.
The bigger issue though, is what could cause the o-charts not show up in the list of available plugins (now that I can read their names more easily...)

Re: Trouble with plugins - O Charts

First of all update your OpenCPN to the current version. Some bugs specific to your particular M1 machine are fixed for the upcoming 5.6.2, so what you should use is https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/davi....1427f287c.pkg
If your problems persist, which I doubt, post that screenshot again.

Silly me, of course I should have checked for updates. All better now. Thanks much.
