Hi @pheiduck

Sorry for the late reply, this is quite peculiar. Can you make a screenshot of your Location settings ? Talking about this screen :

Knowing your settings may give me a clue. Thanks !

[pheiduck]

[glouel]

I see.

Could you press the Show Warning button bottom left of that panel, it will pop a window with the log. Look for a line with that yellow sign and tell me what it says ?

Another suggestion, can you try changing the position to say, bottom left ?

According to your log everything looks ok (including loading the location info) and so does your screenshot. Last suggestion, in Advanced, switch language to English just to be sure.

[pheiduck]

The Language change do noting

[glouel]

What about the warning message ? Did you have a look ?

Ok so I installed latest beta here in a Mojave VM and couldn't reproduce your issue. I had broken the auto update feed for the beta though (again), so I fixed that.

According to the log, the warning is for Location services so that's not your issue either.

I'm running out of possible ideas so, as a last resort, could you go to : ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/and attach your com.JohnCoates.Aerial.UUID.plist here (just drag n drop the file) ? Maybe this way I can reproduce your issue.

[pheiduck]

File_plist

[glouel]

Thanks ! Can confirm the bug here with your plist, looking at what's going on, will let you know asap.

Edit : Found the bug, I suspect you maybe had an older version of Aerial at some point on your machine and had disabled location at the time, there was a check for the old settings system that was still there and shouldn't have, which disabled location for you. I'll have a new beta with the fix soon.

[glouel]

I just released beta4 with the fix for your issue : https://github.com/JohnCoates/Aerial/releases/download/v1.8.3beta4/Aerial.saver.zip

Github is semi working so if the download link doesn't work give it another try.

[pheiduck]

Thanks for your great work
