Topic: Slic3r Crashed

I am was trying to modify my settings when Slic3r crashed and when I try to reopen the configure I get the below message.  Has anyone else gotten this message before or know how to correct the error.  My computer is a Mac.  Before it crashed I was playing with the z-lift.  I than went back into the configure and set the z-lift to "null."  Reading on other forums this causes the crash.  Other sites say that I should delete the Slic3r.ini to fix the issue, but I can not find that file where it should be (Library/Application Support/Slic3r/).


  7:53:13 PM: <Slic3r> Use of uninitialized value in subtraction (-) at /Volumes/Repetier-Host Mac.app/Repetier-Host Mac.app/Contents/Resources/Slic3r.app/Contents/Resources/lib/std/Slic3r/Geometry.pm line 728.

Re: Slic3r Crashed

Issue resolved!  Playing with the z-lift and setting it back to "null" will cause Slic3r to crash after the save.  Since I was running both Repetier and Slic3r through the downloaded file it was functioning as a "volume" on the Mac and I couldn't find the folder where the config files were being stored.  However I solved the problem by dragging the app from the volume and placed it inside my applications folder.  Once I attempted to start Slic3r from my applications, it generated the Slic3r folder in the "User\Library\Application Support" folder.  Than I deleted the offending configure file and it worked just fine.
