It locks up shortly after trying to create a new disk (File > New > Floppy Image..., type in a name and click OK). VisualVM sees that it's deadlocked - from a cursory glance it looks like it's waiting on the Aqua file chooser to return. I've thrown the stack trace up as a gist at https://gist.github.com/cswingler/b43e920b0c56b4ca979f. (This is still on 1.5.5 by the way)

I'm on 1.55. I'll have to track down 1.6 and give it a whirl. Nothing got printed to the console when the lockup occurred, though I didn't play with it very long. If I start digging into the code of that app and make changes, how would you like patches submitted?

I figured I was on the right track while playing with TIImageTool. Does anyone know what version of the JRE it behaves best under? It keeps locking up for me. I haven't yet dug into why or poked around in visualvm to see why, though. I'm running: java version "1.7.0_09" Java SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05) Java HotSpot 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode) on OS X 10.9.4.

Yay newbie questions! I'm sure this has been touched on before, but my searches are coming up blank. So I've figured out how to get a program out of MESS into ASCII format using LIST PIO, but I haven't figured out how to get the edited program back onto the system. I am trying to work out a sane development cycle (edit in a proper text editor, transfer to emulator, test, possibly export changes, commit to a source control system, rinse, repeat) for writing BASIC programs. I'm not coming up with a good way to automatically get a BASIC program into the emulator. I know v9t9 allows abusing the virtual keyboard to accept a text file to press keys, but that seems less than efficient. Is there some way to transfer the file over the emulated serial port, or possibly write it to a disk on my modern computer and flip it into MESS? Thanks!
