Theme converter is not starting on MacOS Monterrey. It displays blank window for a few seconds and then disappears. I tried re-installing it but the issue continues. I’m having the same issue with Pinegrow Snapshots, anyone else having this issue?

Mine has a Intel CPU, and no crash report. It’s as if the application just closes.

@rjrggr ah, ok, so your Mac doesn’t offer to send a crash report to Apple?  
Ok, interesting.

The same problem with Pinegrow Web Editor PRO 7.04 on Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon. Version 7.03 works well. I tied to delete ~/.config/Pinegrow without a result.

@rjggr According to my latest tests today (24-12-2022) on macOS Monterey which is the operating system I use, neither Pinegrow Snapshots 1.1 nor Pinegrow Theme Converter 1.3 have this problem at startup.

Can you **[please contact the support directly](https://pinegrow.com/contact-us/)** so that your particular case can be analyzed more closely?

@webcodist As far as Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon is concerned, we do not test this distribution and it will be difficult for us to offer more precise help than the tips we propose on our dedicated documentation… ([https://pinegrow.com/docs/getting-started/install-and-run-pinegrow/install-pinegrow-on-ubuntu-linux/](https://pinegrow.com/docs/getting-started/install-and-run-pinegrow/install-pinegrow-on-ubuntu-linux/))

Can you launch the application from the terminal and copy the possible warnings/error messages that are displayed **then [please contact the support directly](https://pinegrow.com/contact-us/)** so that your particular case can be analyzed more closely.

**Note:** Also, for the sake of efficiency and organization in this forum, we recommend that you do not post in a topic that is not directly related to the issue that brought you here.

Instead, please create a specific topic for each different situation. Your topic should ideally be titled with a sentence that summarizes the problem you are experiencing.
