I'm using QGIS 1.8.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (last stable version of QGIS I downloaded yesterday).

After working yesterday and this morning on it, I'm trying to open it again, and QGIS asks me the username and password to access the PostGIS database and crashes after 10 seconds.

I also have QGIS 1.7 and 1.9 installed on my computer.

Here is the crash message, if this can help:

I was finally able to open the .qgs file with QGIS 1.7. It prompted a mistake but at least didn't crash. The problem came from a CSV file that changed path (before I saved it). Hope it helps someone else.

Your post has saved me days of work. I had the exact same problem. I tried opening a .qgs file that I have been working on for weeks using QGIS 1.8 and it crashed while loading. Thanks to your comment I checked the paths of the .csv files, realised I had changed one of them, changed it back and opened the .qgs file with QGIS 1.8 without glitch. THANK YOU! – user10378 Sep 21 '12 at 10:31
