Please post the contents of the error log file. This can be accessed in Archi by selecting the "About Archi" menu item. In the dialog box press the "Installation Details" button, then select the "Configuration" tab and press the "View Error Log" button.

Please ensure that Archi has write access to its data and configuration folders at user.home/Library/Application Support/Archi/ and also at user.home/Documents/Archi

You could also try deleting the folder at user.home/Library/Application Support/Archi/config and re-starting.

Unfortunately permissions are good and deleting the config directory did not fix. Thanks

As I can't reproduce this and we've not had this error reported before now I'm afraid you're going to have to try different things such as re-installing, deleting data folders, etc.

Thanks for looking , will do. I presume there was nothing in the log that indicated anything?

I presume there was nothing in the log that indicated anything?

Only that a tabbed property sheet extension was null which indicates something weird like a corrupt installation, config area or conflict to do with an Archi plug-in or conflicting Archi versions perhaps running at the same time.

The only thing I can suggest is to delete the user.home/Library/Application Support/Archi/config folder, re-download Archi 5.4 and re-install.
