BTT Stuck in boot loop

Bugs or Unexpected Behavior
1

Describe the bug
After adding a system wide condition for checking for specific screen resolutions, my BTT application is stuck in a nasty boot loop where I cannot remove this trigger. I get the following error when running from terminal which points me to this trigger being the issue:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Can't do regex matching, reason: (Can't open pattern U_REGEX_RULE_SYNTAX (string {{0, 0}, {1728, 1117}}, {{3648, -428}, {1080, 1920}}, {{1728, 37}, {1920, 1080}}, pattern {{0,0}, {1728, 1117}}, {{3648, -428}, {1080, 1920}}, {{1728, 37}, {1920, 1080}}, case 0, canon 0))'

Is there a way for me to be able to remove an advanced condition without removing all my settings and automation tasks?

you could try whether safe mode helps, it can be activated with this terminal command:

defaults write com.hegenberg.BetterTouchTool BTTSafeModeEnabled YES

I'll check & fix it that crash asap!

I tried enabling safemode as well which unfortunately didn't stop this condition from triggering. Thank you Andreas, amazing program and i appreciate the hasty reply. Will keep my eyes out for an update :smiley:

4.186 should at least not crash anymore.
I need to figure out how to check for valid regexes though, most likely you selected the "matches" operator, which the system expects a regular expression for. I should show some error message if a invalid regex is entered there.

Ahh that makes sense. Fantastic, BTT now starts up again. Yes, I did use the matches operator. Thank you again!
