Opening User Config Fails on macOS

[sanssecours]

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Open HDFView
2. Select “Tools” → “User Options” in the menu bar

Expected Result

A window shows up displaying the GUI for the user config. The screenshot below shows this window for HDFView 3.2.0:

Actual Result

HDFView (3.3.0) displays an error message about invalid values:

Things I Tried

Getting rid of the files:

• ~/.hdfview3.3.0
• ~/Preferences/HDFView.hdfgroup.org.plist
• ~/Library/Saved Application State/hdf.view.savedState

did not solve my problem.

Opening the user configuration in HDFView 3.2.0 works without any problems (as far as I can tell).

System

OS: macOS 13.4
HDFView Version: 3.3.0

For me it does open, but none of the settings display:

OS: macOS 14.6.1
HDFView Version: 3.3.2

So something definitely is wrong - most likely some resource is not being found. There is a way to enable logging, that requires some command line changes and explained in the documentation. That would be the only way to pinpoint the problem with a setting of TRACE.
