The macOS Catalina 10.15.7 upgrade came up for me today, I generally like to keep up-to-date on updates so I let it go ahead. After the update installed (and restarted my Mac), Evernote Skitch kept on crashing every time I tried to open the app with macOS telling me The application "Skitch.app" can't be opened...and the crash report having more sinister details...

Looked like the "EDAM" library, whatever it was, was not being found.

This looked strange but I figured maybe what I need to do is get the latest version of Skitch from Evernote to fix it. Short story - that is the solution.

Here's a slightly longer version though...the Skitch version that crashes is v2.9, but the latest downloadable version is v2.8.1. Not sure why the latest is a lower version number, maybe due to automatic update grabbing a more recent version from somewhere else, but there you are.

Having installed the version of Skitch from the website, it worked as usual again...
