Blender hanging when trying to run nxt editor

[shhlife]

Heya,

I'm trying to use nxt with Blender 2.91.2 on OS X. I'm able to install it just fine, and if I run nxt from the terminal it comes up - but Blender hangs when trying to run nxt after using the addon.

I've let it sit for over a half hour and it doesn't appear to be doing anything. No error messages in the shell I launched Blender from, either.

Any tips?
thanks!

Hey Jason, sorry for the delay, my MacOS machine is off getting a new logic board 😩
@MichaelAldrich might be able to boot it up in MacOS at it the meantime.

Can you try running this bit of Python in Blender's interactive interpreter and see if any errors print out?

import os
os.environ['NXT_VERBOSE'] = '2'
os.environ['NXT_DCC'] = 'blender'

import nxt_editor

nxt_editor._new_qapp()
nxt_editor.show_new_editor()

Thanks for the report @shhlife , I just reproduced it on my own MacOS machine.

I opened an issue for this here: #156 and used your screenshot 😉
We'll do our best to get a fix in the next release.

Good news! In the latest release of the editor (3.7.0) this appears to be fixed on my Mac. @shhlife if you get a chance to try, please tell us how it goes for you.
