Is it possible to download previous version 1.4.0? Installed 1.4.1 and is not working at all. Thank you!
What happens exactly? Any error message?
It let me pick the host face and the object to be scattered but the Generate button does nothing when clicked. Previous projects made with previous version are not working.
Try this:
- Open the Ruby Console (Window > Ruby Console) and keep it open
- Open Skatter and try to work with it
- Tell me what appears in the Console
This is what appears in Console:

For some reason it don’t shows the error message after the number symbol:
“ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 4)”
Try this one, it should solve your issue : http://files.getskatter.com/skatter_1.4.1_setup_light.pkg
(file name is the same as before, but it’s actually fixed)
Excellent!!! Working great again!!! Thank you!!!
You’re welcome 
Sorry for the inconvenience. It seems there’s been a mixup when packing the files for the OSX version.
i have exactly the same problem. google brought me to this page. except mine is a windows version not OSX
You mean you have the exact same error in the ruby console?
This is what i get when i try to pick a grouped surface. nothing just happens. i was using the version 1.2 before which worked just fine then upgraded to 1.4 and this.

This looks like a license issue.
Did you purchase a license? Are you using a cracked version?
