stuck "verifying"

[vadermcc]

Hey all, I'm running macOS Sierra 10.12.2 and I just downloaded the most recent version of DCP-o-matic (2.14.23), but whenever I try opening it I get stuck with a "verifying 'DCP-o-matic'" window that never moves past around the 65% point.

I can't remember the previous version of DCP-o-matic I was using before, but I had run into this problem and was hoping it could be fixed by downloading the most recent version. I'm also a bit of a pleeb when it comes to software issues like this, so I'm perfectly happy if this is some easy fix that I just don't know enough to workaround.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi. How long have you waited with it stuck at 65%? The verification thing can sometimes take 20 minutes or even more.

I feel like a good 15 mins, but I'll stick it out for longer. It's just that it's never taken that long to verify before.

Yup. Reboot the machine, wait for it to settle, start DCP-o-matic, and just give it time to finish. Don't do anything else during verification, especially, don't start any of the other DCP-o-matic apps. From my experience, verifying more than one app at the same time will never come to an end.

I downloaded 2.14.23 today, and the verification in Sierra took a while, but finished.

Doi! I just had to leave it for a longer period of time.

Thanks!
