This occurred with the last 8.0 beta, too, but it also happens in the non-beta 8.0 version that I installed today. When I select from the menu "Indexes > Manage Indices," and then select my largest index (275,015 files, 25 GB index size), and then select its "Indexed Data" tab and then click the "Blacklist" button, I get a very long and blank window (with no alternating shaded/non-shaded rows) that never seems to populate with anything (no matter how long I leave it up), and runs off screen not showing the controls or button that should be visible. Hitting the "enter" key will make it disappear. I do not get the message that says something like "Items were recently added to the blacklist" when selecting this or the following described indexes. This does not happen to all indices. For another index, which is much smaller (1,339 files, 2.9 GB index size), I get the same blank window (no shaded/non-shaded rows) but it does not run off the screen. Another index (129,848 files, 6.8 GB index size) has the latter result, too. Other indexes which fall between these in number of files and size of index do not have this problem; they show the alternating shaded/non-shaded rows, and where appropriate, they show the ghosted gray names of previously blacklisted files that have since been resolved. The three problem indexes do share some files in common, but I don't know how to easily determine which. I have tried rebuilding the very large index but it did not help.

Could you quit FoxTrot, then launch it from Terminal.app? To do so, launch Terminal.app, then paste the following line (including the quotes), and press return:
'/Applications/FoxTrot Professional Search.app/Contents/MacOS/FoxTrot Professional Search'
Then open the blackilist window and check if this causes an error message to be logged to the Terminal window.
Thanks for the report

This is all that appears when I launch it that way and then try to view the blacklists of the problem indexes one at a time:

% '/Applications/FoxTrot Professional/FoxTrot Professional Search.app/Contents/MacOS/FoxTrot Professional Search'
2023-11-16 06:16:12.054 FoxTrot Professional Search[63992:623711] WARNING: Secure coding is automatically enabled for restorable state! However, not on all supported macOS versions of this application. Opt-in to secure coding explicitly by implementing NSApplicationDelegate.applicationSupportsSecureRestorableState:.

    PreviousFoxTrotVersionRegistrationCode = "FTPro7/5-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX";
}
The console shows this from when I repeated the steps outlined in my original post to show the blacklists for the three known problem indexes:

Just wanted to let others know that after some more troubleshooting with Jérôme in email, he was able to determine the problem and a fix is in the 8.0.1 release.
