MacBook Pro Ventura: Problem creating PDF Files with Songsheet Generator and ChordSmith

Problem in main User Area creating PDF files from programs Songsheet Generator and ChordSmith since about 25 Oct 2025 though possibly earlier but I did not know until then.

These problems do not occur in another User Area that I set up to test any issues with programs.

MacBook Pro 15" 2017

Ventura 13.7.8 (22H730)

(The most up to date OS supported by this computer)

Songsheet Generator (SG) is the program that I am most concerned to sort out.

"Songsheet Generator is an application which prints songsheets and songbooks for home, small group, or large group overhead use. The program runs on . . . Mac OS X (Java-based native .app), and any platform that supports Java 1.5 (.jar file)."

I downloaded a new copy of SG and there were the same problems generating PDF files in the Problem User Area. Same problem whether sending to Preview, Printing or Saving, ie. nothing happens.

Library/Preferences files in the Problem User Area:

com.tenbyten.SG02.chordrc

com.tenbyten.SG02.keyvalue

com.tenbyten.SG02.plist.lockfile

com.tenbyten.SG02.plist

com.tenbyten.SG02.props

com.tenbyten.SG02.props.default

Library/Preferences files in the Test User Area (no problems):

com.tenbyten.SG02.chordrc

com.tenbyten.SG02.keyvalue

com.tenbyten.SG02.props

com.tenbyten.SG02.props.default

Problem User Area:

Renaming and/or removing the plist file made no difference after restarting.

Java:

Version 8, Update 471

Release date: October 21, 2025

(latest version)

Any ideas would be gratefully received!
