The crashing issue may be specific to that project, perhaps a
symbology issue. I was able to open several other project files
without crashing, but a new and more serious issue has arisen. Now,
opening the a project brings a map composer window to the screen as
well as the canvas. This composer window cannot be minimized or
closed. Worse, it causes Mac OS X Finder, Dock, and Spaces to all
cease functioning. Essentially, it paralyzes the OS X gui. Quitting
qgis does not fix this. The only solution I have found is to logout
and log back in to restore gui functionality.
I should add that I am using qt-4.6-beta, so it would be great if
another Mac user with a more conservative qt environment could test
this and see if it happens for them. The key is having an existing
qgis project.
Beyond that, I do not have much information to provide that may help
uncover this. We can try to work on this off-list if you would like.
Regards,
John
