I can’t seem to open SketchUp, Layout, or Style Builder. Mac is only a day old, not much else installed, and not much set from the defaults. SketchUp 2024 folder copied to applications folder, but all three apps launch and just sit in the Dock not responding. [image] They make their app support …

@trent @adam Trent or Adam may know if there is a reason that LayOut 2024 stores its preferences files in the LayOut 2023 support folders.

@me2 we have a ticket filed to fix this, and we discovered why it happens. In the mean time, in order NOT to write to a previous version, you can change a preference and it stops: for me, I added a preferences/folders setting to look for Scrapbooks in /private/tmp, and it stopped trying to find / w…

You can also solve this by changing ANY preference: I added a shortcut for the first menu item in the list - LayOut/About LayOut, and that stopped the LayOut 2023 search and write. Ugh…no harm, but it’s ugly and we’ll fix ASAP.

Well, fixed it based on this tip to drag it out of the folder and back in:
