What happened?
Hi!
I've installed the latest version 0.5.3 from .dmg on macOS Big Sur 11.7.10, gave it access to screen recording. But when I run it, the initial screen just flashes, disappears and nothing happens. See the terminal output below.
How did you install NormCap?
DMG installer (macOS)
Operating System + Version?
macOS Big Sur 11.7.10
[Linux only] Display Server (DS) + Desktop environment (DE)?

Hi @fedka, thanks for reporting this!
Seems like the bundled tesseract crashed.
May I ask, which processor you have? I think the command sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string should print it, otherwise you can find it in "About this Mac".
fedka commented
Sure,
Quad-Core Intel Core i7-4850HQ CPU @ 2.30GHz
dynobo commented
Thanks, @fedka. This is weird, it should work on Intel.
However, I noticed, that the package is build on macOS 12, maybe this causes issues?
I've just built a package of NormCap 0.5.4 on macOS 11, could try installing that one, report back if it works for you?
fedka commented
Hi @dynobo!
Looks like the link is wrong. It leads to old 2022 source code.
P.S. Tried dmg 0.5.4. from the releases. All the same.

Yes, it's ok now, starts properly.
