Title: Can't load xLights from Mac App Store
Post by: halfast on December 04, 2020, 10:10:31 AM

An SSD crash on my iMac caused xLights to be corrupted.  I had to delete the app.  However, when I tried to download xLights from the Mac App Store, the only option I get is to OPEN.  As for the Mac App Store, do I need to delete .plists or some other files to get the Store to recognize that I do not have xLights in my Applications folder? 

I tried to find a distribution on GitHub but couldn't find it.  Is there still a GitHub distribution?

Thanks for the help.

In theory, you just need to make sure there is not a /Applications/xLights.app and the app store should present the option to download again.   I would just try doing an "rm -rf /Applications/xLights.app", then reboot, then try again.  (reboot shouldn't be needed, but doesn't hurt)
