Immediate crash/won't launch

[deemery]

Vienna stopped launching after a reboot. The application seems to crash immediately. It was working fine yesterday. There's nothing relevant I've found in the system logs.

Environment is Mavericks fully up-to-date (10.9.2). Vienna release 3.0.0 RC1 and the previous version (which I'm sorry today I deleted, I grabbed the RC to see if that were the problem.)

What next? Is there a Vienna crash log anywhere?

Have you looked at ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticsReports ?
You can also explore in Console.app (File -> Open Quickly -> Diagnostic and Usage Information)

Otherwise, older versions of Vienna are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/vienna-rss/files/

Nothing of interest in either location.

I'm suspecting a bad prefs file, but I don't want to naively just trash all the Vienna preferences, and lose my (rather extensive) list of subscriptions. Any suggestions on how to rescue subscriptions from the preferences files?

Well, I don't know -why-, but this seems to have fixed the problem. I removed ~/Library/Application Support/Vienna and then relaunched the application. It launched OK, but my subscriptions are gone.

(I actually saved the old Vienna directory, if someone wants to look at it.

Does anyone know how to recover Subscriptions from the Application Support/Vienna directory?

I restored both Application Support and Preferences files, and relaunched Vienna. After it refreshed my subscriptions, I ran Reindex Database just to be sure.

And then I did an export of my Subscriptions, so next time I can reload them if I do a clean re-install of Vienna
