Cura fails to start, dead processes still listed by task manager #15182

See: Ultimaker/Cura#15182

It turns out, that this new plugin version 3.7.1 prevents my cura from starting up.
The blue start window from cura shows the last message "Loading UI...", dissapears, and nothing more happens.

Without the MeshTools 3.7.1 all is working well in Cura again.

Can confirm this is an issue, with this plugin Cura opens successfully only about 30% of the time

On MacOS Cura is just active in the Dock with no actual windows open

Me too.
It started immediately after updating Mesh Tools so I knew what had caused it. Uninstalling Mesh Tools was tough since Cura wouldn't start. Uninstalling it fixed the problem.

Thanks for reporting. I'm looking in to it. The previous version is still available here:
https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-MeshTools/releases/tag/v3.7.0

Strange, the v3.7.1 update is a fairly minor change from v3.7.0. Here are all the code-changes:
v3.7.0...v3.7.1

It would be really nice if you could confirm that 3.7.0 does not exhibits the problem.
https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-MeshTools/releases/tag/v3.7.0
Download the "Cura5.0.curapackage " and drop the file onto the Cura buildplate as if you were opening a 3d model.

I have (temporarily) removed the plugin from the Marketplace, so users are no longer told to update to this problematic version.
See #36

Please help test this easter-morning hotfix:
https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-MeshTools/releases/tag/v3.7.2-DEV

The hotfix works, Cura now opens perfectly fine

[fieldOfView]

Thanks for the quick test!

Unfortunately it is going to take a little while before a new version of the plugin is going to be available in the Marketplace. Any update is tested before it is published, and I assume the Cura team are enjoying Easter.

+1 The fix seems fine.

FYI...I heard from the Tooth Fairy that the Easter Bunny is a myth.
Happy Easter anyway.

Version 3.7.2 is now available in the Marketplace, fixing this issue.
