Here is my first attempt to fix the program not starting up problem:

http://www.macecraft.com/downloads/betas/jv16PT2010_Beta5_build780.exe


Please uninstall the previous Beta version before installing this version.


If the problem still exists, please send over the Debug Log and bugreport.txt files of this build. I also added some debug code so the Debug Log should contain more valuable information for me, if the problem still exists.


This beta build does not attempt to address any other reported issues, so no need to test them or re-report. I'll first try to fix the startup problem, after that it's time to move on to the smaller issues.

With XP-Prof SP3 at latest maintenance level; the beta5-build-780 version still freezes in the task "Performing Initial Setup" (I tried 3 times in a row)!

According to the log, the program was executed for about 2 minutes. Could you try to wait for 5 minutes for the Initial Setup to run? Even as the window says "Not responding".


I'm asking you to do this to make sure there indeed is a bug, or whether this is only a GUI update problem. If the GUI doesn't update fast enough, Windows will call the program as "Not responding" although the program might just be busy working.

I will try it right now

I just noticed that at least the Debug Log was created using the original Beta5, not the build 780. I can't say about the bugreport.txt, because that file doesn't contain the file version stamp, I'm afraid.

After the windows freeze warning I replied 3 times continue the program. At the next freeze warning I closed the application.

So the program ran almost 10 minutes. I added the new DebugLog and Bugreport .zip files

Build 780 program crash logs on Windows 7 x64 Professional. Uninstalled previous build prior to installing Build 780.

Cannot reproduce this issue, but I added some debug code so please try to reproduce the problem with the next released build and send over the Debug Log and bugreport.txt again, thank you.

Sounds like a real issue then. But I'm afraid this Debug Log is also created with the older build, 779, not with the new build 780.

This debug information was very interesting! According to the Debug Log, the problem is not that the program crashes when started. The problem is that the program closes automatically when started, and the crash occurs when the program closes (which is a Known Issue).


In other words, there are currently two issues:

1. The Initial Setup freezing, and

2. The program automatically closing / crashing when started.


Here is an updated beta build:

http://www.macecraft.com/downloads/betas/jv16PT2010_Beta5_build782.exe


This build attempts to fix the problem you experience (issue number 2), and it also contains some more debug code in order to help me to fix the other problem (issue number 1).


So please download it, and let me know how it works. If either of the problems still persist, please send over the Debug Log and bugreport.txt

Windows 7 x64 Professional, Build 782.


Attached are two sets of pgm crash logs. The program crashes after the initial scan of data and on the attempt to restart it. The second set is on closing after a reg clean exercise.

187. File Tool: “Mass file rename” window's icons do nothing when clicked, perhaps due to the AV. __ 779 x64 w7

All three fixed.

190. File Tool: “File Encrypter” window appears to have truncated descriptive text by two of its check boxes. __ 779 x64 w7

I forgot to mention this in the Release Notes, the File Encrypter is not working yet. This is due to the Delphi 2010 migration. Known Issues updated.

192. File Tool: the “View” icon gets an access violation (AV). I expected it to open a .txt file in notepad. __ 779 x64 w7

Both of these should be now working. The next released build will contain all these fixes.

Windows 7 x64 Professional, jv16 Build 782.


The old problem of data caching accessing disks that are in the global ignore list is back. This is SearchDirs.dat which includes the G:\ drive that is in the Global Ignore list of disks.


C:\ProgramData\TEMP\

C:\Users\TOM~1\AppData\Local\Temp\

C:\Windows\

C:\Windows\system32\

C:\Windows\Temp\

G:\ProgramData\TEMP\

G:\Windows\Temp\


TempDirs.dat is also showing the G:\ drive.

G:\Windows\Temp\

Also, "Open in Regedit" now works on Windows 7 x64. Thanks for fixing this features. :)

Could you send over the contents of your GlobalIgnoreList.dat?

I'm attaching bug report for the build 782. No debug log because this time I can't start it properly without a single success, as in the previous version. :|


Of course before I uninstalled the original beta 5 build.

To be clear: the program now starts up correctly, but after the Initial Setup there is a report of crash when the program is restarted? In other words, the program crashes when closed?
