The preferences file should be saved in in your home directory in .cura (which is a hidden location)
What you could try, is running Cura from a terminal, then you should be able to see an error log.

Strange still no sucsess even after removing pref and re-installing cura.
It really stops slicing after the first object and says "it took xx secondes to export the file." with a progression bar half way there.
How can I run cura in terminal?
This week-end I'm doing a clean system install anyway it might help.
First, start a terminal (you should be able to find it in the finder)
Then, in the black window type:
cd /Applications/Cura/
./Cura/Contents/MacOS/Cura
Thanks for the tip. This is what I get in the terminal once its stops:

Looks like a possible problem with language settings. What native language do you have configured in your Mac?
Most likely, removing the "at: {day} {date} {time}" from the start code works around this.
My system language is english, but I use the Swiss-french time and date setting.
On a freshly installed system project-planner works again. If it starts acting strange I'll try removing the gcode you mentioned.
Thanks for the support!
Removing the specified comment in the start.gcode worked for me. I am using French also..
Thanks for the Great Support !
Same here, my brother removed the "at: {day} {date} {time}" on his setup and it works fine again!
Thanks!
Also fixed this for the next release :-) it will no longer stop slicing, and replace none-ascii chars with a question mark (best I can do right now, most of the code is build around ascii strings instead of unicode strings)

So I found a quick workaround.
Login as a guest install a fresh copy of cura and sice. This will only work for the first slice and I cannot open the preference panel.
After that I need to delete the guest user and login as a new one in order to slice again… strange.
Maybe it has to do with the preference file? I cannot find where it is saved.
