Taskpaper 3 preview modal window with spinner hang

I just installed a newly downloaded the Taskpaper 3 preview, and installed and launched it. I can add text in the edit window, but there’s a modal dialog with spinner which hangs there. I can’t quit the app, nor close preferences. This is on 10.10.5.

Two possibly non-standard things about my install:

  • user who did install does not have admin privileges
  • Taskpaper is installed in ~/Applications instead of /Applications

Console logs:

Thanks, looking into this now.

@jessegrosjean That looks like the Paddle window.

@dttocs: Have you maybe blocked paddle with Little Snitch or something similar?

Yes… I’m sure is Paddle window, working with Paddle now to resolve. Shouldn’t freeze like that I think no matter what. I hope soon to learn if it’s a bug in paddle, or a just me messing up how I’m using paddle :smile:

Thanks. Just started it up again, and it worked fine, with the spinner appearing briefly, then the Paddle “Thank you for trying TaskPaper” dialog appearing. Nothing blocking Paddle that I’m aware of, and I had network connectivity when I launched last time too. Entered my license without problems, so not sure what the issue was last time.
