I recently installed catalyst on leopard 10.5.6 everything seems to run fine, but when I try to open the preferences window, it will not open, thus I haven't been able to set my LFG4 and epiphan capture cards, is there a way to manually set the preferences?
is there like a text file I can edit manually to activate my lfg inputs??
I have used the mini three but I have never used one of their Frame grabbers. I am thinking you might be having hardware problems with the external frame grabber and the LFG4. Make sure you have the correct LFG4 driver for Catalyst.
If you do have the correct driver, the only way to get everything to work is to do each step.Quote:

- Check for preferences to see if you have access to LFG4
- Save Preferences
- Reboot
- Verify new version of Catalyst still sees LFG4
- Quit Catalyst
- Add epiphan external capture device
- Reboot
- Launch same new version of Catalyst
- See if you can change and access LFG4 and epiphan correctly.
- If you already have a show. (You are best to start from scratch!!!)
- Created New Empty Catalyst Folder
- Copy new Catalyst Application to it
- Copy CatalystPreset.txt which is what holds all the HUD presets
- Don't copy other files if you can avoid them
- Reboot
- Launch same new version of Catalyst
- Test inputs still working
- If not, turn off all inputs and Reboot
- Launch Catalyst and turn on one input at a time
- Save Preferences and reboot after each added input
Obviously this is a long tedious procedure. Many steps you might be able to skip. Try not to skip them if you need the whole process. Otherwise, this should solved any capture issues.
Oh and FYI. There is a tool in the HUD in newer beta versions of Catalyst which allows you to clone inputs to other capture channels. This is very finicky to change and usually causes some if not all of the problems this proceedure is for. If you're using m165 or m167 then disregard this statement.
Good luck
weird thing, I changed to build m167 and now it works like a charm.
