AlDente dies sometimes (bug?) - restart it automatically.

[kapitainsky]

I have noticed that sometimes AlDente dies when my laptop is asleep and as a result battery is fully charged.

Whatever reason of such behaviour I think the simple countermeasure could limit its impact by simply starting AlDente again - launchd job checking if AlDente is running and if not starting it again would solve the issue. Ideally such behaviour should be configurable - "keep alive" option in UI for example.

Hi @kapitainsky,

To assess your issue better, please share the crash reports of AlDente. You can find the crash reports by opening the “Console” app and navigating to “Crash Reports” on the left side. Afterward, you will see a list of all crash reports. Now, please export all AlDente crash reports individually by right-clicking on them and saving them as a .ips file.

Best,
Matthias

It is great that AlDente saves it! Here you are:

AlDente-2024-08-10-051312.ips.zip
AlDente-2024-08-17-050254.ips.zip

Please note that whatever reason there can be always some new bug in the future. "Keep alive" would provide some solution - even if cumbersome.

Hi @kapitainsky,

Thank you for the crash reports. They helped us a lot to analyze the issue and we will try to fix it with the next update.
Also, regarding your "keep alive" suggestion, it sounds interesting and we will look into it.

Best,
Matthias
