Updating a Plugin:

• The new plugins (updated or purchased after January 2020) got the update info built-in:
  • GlyphsApp > Preferences > Addons > Check For Updates
  • If it shows that there is an update available, please contact me to get it immediately.
• For older versions:
  • I will send out a mail to every customer whenever I got an update available.
  • This contains a link to the new plugin, so keep your inbox and spam folder in sight.
• Once you got a new plugin, follow steps 1 or 2.
• It won’t hurt to make a backup of your previous plugin file.
• You’ll never miss an update if you follow me on Instagram and/or Twitter.

Troubleshooting Installing Problems:

• If it fails to show, please check if anything is written in the bottom part of GlyphsApp’s Macro Panel.
• Or in the Mac OS Console App (Filter by typing the Plugin Name or "GlyphsApp" into the search).
• If so, please copy the text and send it to me. No Screenshots please.

Troubleshooting Crashes:

If a plugin crashes it can be likely that GlyphsApp changed things in its architecture and the plugin needs to be updated to those changes. I can’t possibly track all the changes, hence I highly welcome if you send me a note. But in order to solve the problem, I need more info than just »it crashed!«.

Here’s how you can get me a crash report:

• 1. Find the report
• • (A)System Console of your Mac OS
    • Open it by typing »console« in the Mac search.
    • In the Console app, filter the shown results by typing either »GlyphsApp« or the name of the plugin (For example »Show Stems« into the search field.
    • If you see any results, that’s what we need.
  • (B)GlyphsApp’s crash report (less important)
    • It shows after GlyphsApp crashed.
    • Reveal the report by clicking the "See Details" button.
  • (C)Macro Panel in GlyphsApp
    • Sometimes you could find an error message here.

• 2. Send it to me
• • Copy the report as text, please.
  • Include your versions of:
  • • GlyphsApp build
    • Mac OS
    • The plugin (if possible)
  • If you have screencasts or screenshots, please put them somewhere online where I can access them via a link.
    For example wetransfer.
  • Send it to:
    hello {at} markfromberg {dot} com

• (3. Extra points)
• • If you can provide some little information of what you did before the crash, we both reach bonus level for fixing the crash.
