Lingon error with prompt on save

Lingon version 2 is available in the App Store and is much more powerful than Lingon version 3.

There’s only one problem, when you try to save, you’ll see this panel:

If you try to check the box marked “Do not show this message again” the app will crash. I have been in contact with the developer who is aware of the issue and is, I believe, waiting for Apple to approve an update.

In the meantime, you can disable that prompt using this at the command line:

defaults write com.peterborgapps.Lingon InformAboutWhatIsNeededAfterSave -bool NO

Enter that in Terminal while Lingon is not running.

p.s. the other problem with the prompt is that in most cases, it isn’t necessary to reboot, or even log out. If you added a launchd plist in your $HOME/Library/LaunchAgents, all you have to do is this:

cd $HOME/Library/LaunchAgents

launchctl load filename.here.your.plist

Rebooting won’t hurt anything, and it’s not a bad idea, but it’s not (usually) a requirement.
