[chirp_users] macOS Sierra 10.12, blank window
Hi! Elliott, KL4JC here; I've got a few things:
- I've installed the KK7DS Python Runtime as required; it'd be really nice if some more information about this were included on CHIRP's pages. If nothing else, a link to an informational page about this package itself is an absolute minimum. (Having me install a `.pkg` with no explanation as to why? Please, no!) ... especially as Google yields effectively nothing (except my own query to the Homebrew issue-tracker from years ago, hah!)
- I want to note that the (surprisingly up-to-date!) “macOS tips page” is, unfortunately, suddenly out-of-date again: there is a new GUI for *properly* authorizing unsigned apps, as of macOS Sierra 10.12.1:
1. Attempt to run the app, accept the denial; 2. open the “Security & Privacy > General” System Preferences pane; 3. and there will be a new, temporary modal specifically providing the opportunity to whitelist the most-recently-denied unsigned app (i.e. CHIRP):
That should be a little more user-friendly, not to mention more secure, than having users undertake fragile command-line whitelisting of the entire directory! (=
- Finally, and my main reason for writing in ... unfortunately, trying to run `chirp-daily-20161208.app` is not showing much in the way of success, for me. I simply get a blank window, as follows:
Anybody have any idea why I might be seeing this, or how to remedy it without booting into Windows? /=

If you've got to boot into something, boot into Ubuntu, not Windows. Linux seems to give far less issues than Windows,(and it's free. You have to buy Windows).

Have several computers with Windows and have no problems rolling back drivers if need be. I know nothing of Linux and don't feel like learning it. I do not like the Android OS, as I have tried several of those devices. While I have an Iphone, Iwatch, and Ipad, I have not tried the Apple OS. Windows still makes up 90-95% of operating systems used (I believe), and has the most support with programming, etc. it is not a big deal to use your fake Prolific chip cables, if you just take 2 minutes to learn what to do. I probably have 10-15 different radios that have that chip. Plug into the same USB port each time, they come up on the same port number. Not a problem.

Elliott,
In your screenshot, I noticed Chirp is not even in focus. Click the blank window, or Cmd-Tab until it's in focus. Then use the menu to perform an action, such as Download from Radio.
