App does not start at all - Error processing argument at index 1 #57

Closed jsgoupil closed 4 months ago

When trying to start the app, I get an error. I also have uninstalled it and re-installed it. I have 2 monitors, they have different DPI. I remember the app was not liking that much when it came to use the pipet.

[Window Title]
Error

[Main Instruction]
A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

I did some digging, the file here: "C:\Users\asus\AppData\Roaming\Colorpicker\storage\colorpicker.json" was fully empty. I deleted the storage folder and it started to work again.

You might have 2 problems to fix with this bug.

  1. You apparently can't pass "err" to the dialog
  2. Fallback better when this problem happens on startup, otherwise I am stuck forever and could not start the software.

Hey ! Sorry for the late response, yeah I know this issue, it was fixed for the next big update, I just don't have so much time for the moment to continue this update but it will be cool to fix this as soon as possible!
