Thank you very much for your help testing the future!

   
Comic Life Magiq 1.0.2.1 update released
A free update for Comic Life Magiq is available for all users.

Identical to 1.0.2c in all but version number, which has been changed to ensure 1.0.2 users are made aware of the 1.0.2c update via the menu: Comic Life Magiq > Check for Updates...

This 1.0.2.1 update is recommended for all 1.0.2 users and fixes a serious saving issue introduced in 1.0.2 that caused images to be left out of the document.

If you're already running 1.0.2c (v10939) you can "Skip This Version".

Head to the plasq downloads page to get the 1.0.2.1 update or update from within Comic Life Magiq.

King Crimson Comics!

Enjoy the King Crimson Comics here and here.

Kramy Hello Ross,



Yes, you should be able to re-add Skitch to your Login details. Then restart your computer.



Other users have reported that this fixes the problem.



Thanks for your patience!
Ross Graham Works well now. Starts up just fine after the Mac has started up on its own.



Am I safe to add it back to Startup Items do you think?
Kramy Could you please try removing Skitch from Login items and then restart your Mac...?



Apple icon > System Preferences... > Accounts > Login Items > and uncheck Skitch. Then Restart your Mac.



Please let us know how you go.
Ross Graham Today Skitch is quitting on startup after I have updated with the security update on my Mac.



No other updates to come through in Software Update. Running 10.4.11 with latest security update.



Here's my console log from the recent Skitch quit:
