Known software conflicts

From BBEditExtras

Some aftermarket software products can cause BBEdit to crash or behave unexpectedly.

The following are known culprits:

• FinderPop (may be fixed in recent versions; look here for updates and help)
• Default Folder X (version 4.4.3 and older; update to 4.4.4 or later to resolve)
• SCPlugin (remove /Library/Contextual Menu Items/SCFinderPlugin.plugin to resolve)
• Interarchy contextual menu plug-in (version 9.0.x; upgrade to a newer version, or remove /Library/Contextual Menu Items/InterarchyCMPlugin.plugin to resolve)
• MarsThemes (may be fixed in recent versions)

Note: In some cases, the offending items may be in ~/Library in addition to, or instead of, /Library.

Thomas Tempelmann has written a great article about "How To Identify and Disable software extensions on OS X that cause other Apps to crash".

Bare Bones' crash reporter works, but if you need direct assistance, please open a support case instead by writing to Tech Support, describing the problem, and attaching the most recent crash log or two (the log files can be found in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/).

(Note that using Apple's crash reporter sends the crash logs directly to Apple, and Bare Bones won't see them or be able to contact you.)
