I get this message every time at startup.  It doesn't seem to affect my ability to access recipes and my brew log, but it is disconcerting nonetheless


failed to inspect the lock file 'users/bnhamlin/beersmith2-benhamlin' (error 2-no such directory)
 
Hi,
  This is a fairly rare problem that has been tied to doing an operating system update while BeerSmith is still running on the Mac.

  I recommend the following steps as a first fix:
  - Make sure BeerSmith is not running
  - Go to your Home directory and delete the file "BeerSmith2-USERNAME" if it exists where USERNAME is your user name- this lock file usually causes the problem
  - Reboot your machine

Hi, what if the file already doesn't exist ?
