[Qgis-user] 1.7.4 "Wroclaw" Vs 1.8.0 "Lisboa" on OSX 10.6.8

[William Kyngesburye]

It looks like that cleanup routine doesn't cover the delete and reinstall of QGIS itself.  This is probably your problem.

It's a known problem that appeared after I packaged QGIS, and I never got it into the readme: the installer doesn't delete old plugins in the application (there are a few plugins that were merged into the application in 1.8), and those old plugins don't agree with the new QGIS.

So, delete QGIS from your Applications folder.  Then reinstall QGIS.

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
