Corrupted/invalid settings.json #206

Closed RevZero closed 4 years ago

RevZero commented 4 years ago

According to Sentry events and several reports from users, it can happen that the settings.json file gets corrupted.
There is no clear indication why and when this happens so far. It could be caused by asynchronous changes to the Settings class data while it is being serialized.

This has been an issue at least since 1.3.2. Probably earlier but mostly unnoticed due to a lack of Sentry error reporting.

Also see #169, #214
