Error: NSInternalInconsistencyException

[EsterAuren]

Hello! First: thank you so much for building this!
Disclaimer: I am new to python and github and i am grateful if someone can help me with my installation :)
I have spent yesterday and today trying to install it on my machine
(MacOS 12.5.1) and found out that the python installation with homebrew didn't have tkinter
-> so i officially installed python 3.11
tkinter seems to work
then I found out I need to sudo python run.py (like I said, im a beginner)

But now I encounter this upon changing the "activation_key": "f4", to f4 (because ctrl+alt+space didn't do anything for me.

I start up by navigarting to my directory and activating the virtual environment:
cd ~/Documents/Projects/whisper-writer
source venv/bin/activate
sudo python run.py

then everything starts up without error

when I press F4 I get this error:

Starting WhisperWriter...

Thank you very much if you can help! I greatly appreciate your time!

@EsterAuren unfortunately I got the same error on MacOS, and it looks like this project is unmaintained.

I'm working on a separate project similar to this one that would allow for integration with Hammerspoon (as the Python libraries for interfacing with Mac keyboard events seem to be unreliable.). If you're interested, I can notify you once this project is ready.

You can check the code for Hammerspoon on GitHub. It's a nice project that allows you to define custom hotkeys, similar to AutoHotkey on Windows.

@avi-cenna hi! Yes that would be lovely if you can notify me once your project is ready :)
If it's possible with a comment here or alternatively via this email:
ester_auren0j@icloud.com

I'll check out Hammerspoon!
I was happy to receive your message and appreciate the effort!
good luck in the meantime, until soon!

Hello @EsterAuren , the project I mentioned is finally ready. You can find the repo here: https://github.com/avi-cenna/whisper-server

If you have any questions or run into any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Hi there,

Awesome project @avi-cenna — thank you for sharing! I'm glad WhisperWriter served as inspiration :)

In another issue (#13), @felixlu07 provided some code that resolved issues with the StatusWindow class. Likely this will be added in a future PR. In the meantime, @EsterAuren could you try and run the code with their changes and see if this fixes your error?

Thanks!
