I click the icon in applications to load fuse, only for it to quit within 2 secs of trying to load

Hi, I’m sorry to hear that! Let’s see if we can fix it.

When you start Fuse, do you get a Fuse icon in the menu bar, like this? ![file](https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/fuse-legacy-forum-assets/96QBHd9QNh9a-legacy-files-nxSviJt7xe4aRbed-J0hN-Mw40FKvRE275f2KO54a.png)

What happens if you in the terminal do `open /Applications/Fuse.app/`?

Can you please paste the output of the following commands?

- `fuse --version`
- `mono --version`
- `which mono`

Hi, not sure if this belongs here.

I just installed `v0.5.6000 build 3914`.

The icon appears in the menu bar, but the menu doesn’t show the recent projects I worked on. How do I get these?

Apparently I can just do `New...`

* * *

`fuse --version` shows the right version

`mono --version` gives `Mono JIT compiler version 4.0.3`

`which mono`gives `/usr/bin/mono`

* * *

Thanks for your help!

Leonardo

Hi Leonardo,

That’s strange! Can you do `fuse preview` and interact with your app?

Hi Anders, thanks but I can’t, I get

`fuse: Could not find a fuse project to preview`

And the projects are where I left them ! Maybe now Fuse expects the projects to be in some other folder?

Where can I see which is the the Fuse home folder? Some config file I guess?

Thanks

Hi again,

Just go into the directory of the project you want to preview before running the `fuse preview` command. For instance:

```auto
cd /tmp
fuse create app example
cd example
fuse preview

```

Alternatively you can run `fuse preview <path>` if you want to preview something outside of the current working directory. For instance, if I am no longer in `/tmp/example`, I can do

```auto
fuse preview /tmp/example

```
