Hi Pixelmator,

I was working with a pretty simple 1080x1920 image, a gradient color into a square shape and Pixelmator suddenly crashed!.

Now, the app quits/crash every time I try to open it.


"Pixelmator quit unexpectedly"
Send report.

How can I recover my software or even delete all the cache data to get a new fresh install of the application?
Looks like the cache data is corrupted.

I've fixed that deleting the Cache.

/Mac HD/Users/your-user-name/Library/Containers/pixelmator

Look carefully all of these folders, my problem was working with gradients.
So, I deleted gradients and temporal files.

That's all!
Hope it will help you.

First, try closing Pixelmator quickly and starting it up again to see if that fixes the problem. To get to the Force Quit Applications box on macOS, press Command + Option + Esc. Pick Pixelmator from the list, then click "Force Quit." After that, try to open Pixelmator again.

Check to see if you have the most recent version of Pixelmator. Updates for software often fix bugs and make changes that can fix problems with crashing. If there are any updates for Pixelmator, check the website or your app shop and install them if they are there.

A simple restart can fix program problems sometimes. Start up your computer or device again, then open Pixelmator again to see if the problem still happens.
