LJ Backup

[typographer]

So does anyone know a utility for backing up one's LJ that runs on Mac OS X and actually works?

XJournal just spent hours on the download saying "Downloading 0 of 0" and, at least according to Lil Snitch, wasn't actually accessing the internet in any way. It will log in and let me post, and such, but doesn't seem to be able to actually download my

This is a known problem where the History.plist gets corrupted.

First make sure you are running the most recent version. You can get it here.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ljkit/

Then check the following folder and delete the History.plist file.
/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Xjournal/

Then open Xjournal and in the History window hit Download.

It should work properly now. If it doesn't please let me know.

further help?

tried this, didn't work. but wondering how out of date this advice might be by now.

Which version of Xjournal are you running?

And what is actually happening?

I have reproduced the same problem. I followed the above advice and the download still did not work. I installed the program about five minutes ago, using the most recent version.

When you open Xjournal does it say something about "Logging in"?

Are you able to post to LiveJournal from Xjournal?

I can post to LJ using Xjournal. When it opens, it logs in automagically using the account and password I gave it during set-up.
