Unable to call up the Minim icon in toolbar

[Gonzalez]

I am running Minimserver 2.2 (I think release 248) on a QNAP. The last couple of days I have, however, not been able to launch the minim icon when clicking on Minimwatch in my Applications menu (I have a MacBook Pro M3 Max). I am, therefore not able to do a Rescan when adding new music to the QNAP.

I have never experienced this problem before in many years of using MimimServer and MinimWatch.

Can someone please tell me what I should do?

Many thanks.

As a quick workaround, and not only, you can use your browser to connect to
http://nas-ip-address:9790
and launch the rescan from there

Ah! I have been looking into my QNAP TS 269 Pro, updating firmware and checking the MinimServer installation. I see that I have actually the latest release installed (250), and I found a way on the MinimServer site to run a re-scan, which I did successfully. The music I added to the QNAP yesterday is now visible in the My Music Minimserver display on LinnKazoo. It appears that before I did this MinimServer was not running/unavailable

But I still am unable to launch the Minim icon in the toolbar at the top of the screen.

Occasionally the Mac can get into a state where it won't launch MinimWatch or MinimServer because it thinks it is already running. The solution for this is to reboot the Mac.

I have done that, but the minim icon still does not appear. And I have forgotten what I did last time to get a Rescan.
Should I try to reinstall MinimWatch. Will that require me to reinstall all the Java stuff? My Macbook has the Apple M3 Max chip.

In Finder, select Go > Go to Folder, then enter ~/Library/MinimWatch in the pop-up. In this folder, you should see files named minimwatch.log and minimwatch-out.log. Are there any error messages in these files? If you are not sure what to look for, please attach both files to a post here.
