I have just updated to V5.97 . When I click on ‘open project in new window’ and select an html folder I just get a window with nothing in it that says untitled.

So there is a bug that prevents me from opening two projects at once (I use this feature all the time). So I closed Pinegrow and decided to open the other project as on its own. However I discovered a second bug. When I close Pinegrow and then open it again to get back the main menu and open a different folder, instead it automatically opens the same project again. I have to close and open several times before I get back to the main menu.

macOS Catalina 10.15.5

“profile is for a newer version”

and now clicking on the .exe does nothing.

i fixed it on my own, but not without effort

uninstalled  
scrubbed system for pingrow remnants  
reinstalled 5.96  
reconfigured settings  
re-created my workspace

open in separate window works again… whew.

i will hold off upgrading until i hear this issue is resolved
