    I'm not your family, but I am doing fine.
    "THE" program?
    What program?
    I know something, i am letting you know
    But i have no idea what you are talking about.

    That may be the most pathetic software help request i have ever seen.
    It seems pointless to try to help someone who puts so little effort into even ASKING for help.

    my bad bro, as i said to the other comment i was in a rush. that being said:
    PluginPane is a plugin manager software like oven and others that allows to install or uninstall audio plugins on mac os

    the main issue is what i laid on the intial post: i install everything fine, then i launch the program. it starts to open shows me like a glimpse of the main windows and then shutdown and crash. i don't know if the report might be helpful?

    I had a different Issue with PluginPain and made a bug report. No response. I think it’s a solo developer, so that’s understandable, but I haven’t found any support for the app. I guess that’s the trouble with it not being open source.

    I did like the idea of being able to disable plugins, but I will be waiting before trying it again.

    I had the same issue. Try this:

    If PlugPane crashes on opening, the folder doesn’t exist (SQLite won’t create intermediate dirs)
    Fix permissions/ownership:
    sudo mkdir -p "$HOME/Library/Application Support/PlugPane"
    sudo chown -R "$USER":staff "$HOME/Library/Application Support/PlugPane"
    chmod 700 "$HOME/Library/Application Support/PlugPane"

    Then try launching PlugPane again.

    I am guessing you mean "PlugPane". Is that right?
    That I am guessing from my own attempt to find "PluginPane" as your link seems bad, and @manicmazda reply.

    When it takes 7 replies just to sort out the actual name of the thing that is having a problem...well...

    No real need to close the thread - in case others have similar problem.
    But you might mark @manicmazda answer as "BEST ANSWER".
    That will highlight it,etc.
