Hi @MarcosAraujo, this is excellent detective work. There is a related report about djay not handling externally modified files well, "Release Date" and other metadata tags not reading correctly . Mostly stale metadata on desktop, and one case of a waveform vanishing when a live track’s tags were edited. Nobody’s described a full lock-up like yours before, so your sequence is still the new part. It does suggest your instinct about the file hook is pointing at the right area.
One small correction, because it matters for logs: this is a hang, not a crash. djay is still running, so it may not leave a crash report behind at all.
Before I write this up, four things to tighten the repro — the more of these you can answer, the stronger the report:
-
Switch between djay and the Files app several times without deleting anything. Does it still freeze?
-
Delete a file from a folder on the SSD that djay has never referenced. Does it freeze?
-
Do the same delete-while-djay-is-open routine with files on internal storage. Does it freeze?
-
During the next freeze, hold Command for a second and tell me whether the shortcut list appears.
The workaround in the meantime: quit djay completely, not just minimize it, before you do any deleting in the Files app, then relaunch. Slower, but it should keep you out of trouble.
Worth knowing too — there’s an open suggestion asking for track deletion from an external drive inside djay, which would remove the need for this whole detour. Worth a vote: https://community.algoriddim.com/t/delete-songs-within-djay-from-external-drive/42190
Thanks again!
