Warning on startup - can't find marked-pp.py

Viewed 7

Every time I start Marked 3, it displays a warning dialog that says

Cannot access executable
The file /Users/angus/Desktop/
marked-pp.py does not exist.

I assume that marked-pp.py is a file that serves some special purpose for Marked, but I don't know why it expects to find it on my Desktop.

Marked 3.2.17 (1235)

That turned out to be it. I'd forgotten that I'd ever used a custom preprocessor, but I must have been playing around with it when I was using Marked 2, a long time ago.

For some reason, it didn't show up the first few times I launched Marked 3. I think the latest update may have re-enabled it somehow.

Thanks.

Sounds to me more like you at some point had a custom preprocessor, maybe? Marked includes no files with that name, and I assume the PP stands for pre-processor. Did you ever experiment with one? If so, check Custom Rules for an existing rule, and if it was left over from Marked 2, it would have been added as a default filename = * rule.
