[Qgis-developer] Re: Mac Snow Leopard - QGIS Symbology

[Mars Sjoden]

Update.

I decided to partition my internal drive and build another Mac OS X Snow
Leopard for testing.
I wanted to rule out any software conflicts that may have been causing my
QGIS to crash on symbology changes

Re-installed Williams's great Framework dependancies and tested his builds
of QGIS with shapefile data from Natural Earth.


   - I noticed that if I TURNED OFF the selections for:
   - Make lines appear less jagged at the expense of some drawing
   performance
   - Fix problems with incorrectly filled polygons
   - Under PREFRENCES/ >OPTIONS window< / RENDERING tab / Rendering quality


The statistical occurrence of QGIS crashing while changing a layers
symbology drops ~50% to 1 in every 4 symbology changes.

The next question, (if I am the only Mac OS X user having these issues), is
if there is some sort of hardware issue?
I ran an the extensive Apple Hardware Test and came up clean..

I'll attach a Hardware Overview FYI.
