Metagrid crashing when entering edit mode

I got myself into a real predicament because of the instability of the app. I was organizing and assigning custom icon and using a 24 x 24 grid facilitate this. I started running into a problem, though, whenever I would try to access “Layout” it would crash the app. If I set it to layout mode in different grid then navigated to 24 x 24 grid I could delete an icon before it would crash.

I thought I would be clever and set the 24 x 24 grid as my default so that whenever it crashed it would reopen and I could just delete another icon each time (tedious as it may be). Well… not my best idea… I effectively locked myself out of the app because every time I try to enter edit more it crashes.

The simple solution is to uninstall and reinstall and lose all of the other grids I spent hours building. I’m posting here to both report the bug, caution others in this situation, but also in hopes there is a workaround or backdoor to at least get the grids that I’ve built off the iPad before reinstalling the app.

hmmm - what profile you were creating this grid? Can you start MGP while other software is in focus on your computer? And can you export the grid and send to us for testing. That would help us to find the issue and resolve this. Also please enable the crash logs sending to the developers.

I was able to figure out a way to access it again by sending a new grid to my iPad from my computer and then importing it. That way it didn’t automatically load the other grid by default. Unfortunately, I already deleted that broken grid so I can’t send it along for testing purposes. Thanks for your response, though!
