(Archived) 2.0 beta 1 won't show main window

I've been running 2.0 b1 happily for some time, but suddenly tonight something has gone awry. I'm not getting a main window at all on starting up, nor if I explicitly try File -> New Evernote Window. All that appears is the menu bar. If I try to create a new note, I get a blank evernote Window with just a toolbar.

Looking through the log, the only unusual thing I can see is the following lines:

2010-12-20 21:59:24 0xa124f0 [ENAppController] ERROR: EXCEPTION: *** -[NSCFArray initWithObjects:count:]: attempt to insert nil object at objects[0]

The problem has survived a couple of reboots.

Presumably I'm going to have to remove some or all of my Application Support/Evernote stuff?

We've released the full version 2.0:

I'd recommend that you try uninstalling the beta (Quit from the elephant icon in the menu bar first). Then download and install the full release.

If you're still having problems, we may need to help you rebuild your local database by moving away the Evernote directory.

Right, I've tried that, firstly just uninstalling the beta and installing the newest release. That resulted in the same blank window. So I shut down Evernote and the helper, moved ~/Library/Application Support/Evernote aside, started Evernote up again and waited for a longish new initial sync. That seemed OK up to a point, but the 'sync finished' dialog only had a 'cancel' button which seemed odd. Still a blank Evernote window at this stage. I then tried quitting Evernote and starting it up again, and was faced with the original problem again (no Evernote main window).

I didn't originally open a support ticket because I was running the beta. Should I do so now or do you just want to continue here?

( Aside: frustrating though this is, it makes me appreciate Evernote's platform breadth all the more. I have a no-doubt-temporarily broken local client, but can still get at some notes I really need this morning via the web app and iPad. )

Have any other forum readers had this problem with 2.0 (now the release, not the beta)? I'm on day 4 now of having a dead client and would love to hear if anyone here has had a similar issue and managed to fix it.

I don't know if this is related. I'm having issues with 2.0 (full release) not taking focus (which may also be messing with dialog boxes from applescripts also not taking focus). I have had private correspondence with another user with this problem.

Well, my problem (which persisted into a 2.0 full release installation) was fixed by deleting my Evernote prefs, on a suggestion from Dave Engberg. That would be a bit of a drastic step for your issue though, which sounds minor on the face of it. If you're confident you know where all the relevant plist files are, you could always back them up and try it.

Thank you very much. I installed 2.0 after completely removing all traces of EN from my library. I could try just the plist files though.
