yED version 3.24 not working on macos Sequoia 15.2 (M2 Max processor)

Question

I have been using yED successfully for years, and in particular (over last 1 year) on my macbook  with M2 Max processor. But something bad has happened after last update of MacOS - yED starts but shows just an empty window. I am not able to open any file or create a new one. Basically yED is not usable on my mac anymore. I installed the latest version of yED and the latest version of MacOS.

BTW - I was using this file to install yED:

yEd-3.24_with-JRE21_arm64.dmg

I can see similar problem was already reported several times in the forum - under "Total white screen on macos Sequoia with ARM cpu" thread.

PS: Why did you block registration to the support forum ???

Because it was used for what essentially constitutes a DoS attack.

Answer 1

I can see similar problem was already reported several times in the forum - under "Total white screen on macos Sequoia with ARM cpu" thread.

And did you try to delete the yEd profile directory as suggested in said thread?

OK, so my bad. I basically misunderstood the instructions and I was looking in /Library instead of ~\Library. Now when I applied the correct fix the problem seems solved, thx!

In regard to the blocked forum registration - I hear you but ... how then any other internet forum in the world does manage to defend against DoS while retaining the basic forum functionality ? I am just trying to say that the currently deployed convoluted approach is quite disappointing from user's point of view. Even now I am using "comment" feature instead of proper reply, because .. cannot reply.

To be honest, I don't know. I do not like the current approach either, but neither do I know a better solution.
