Get Data shortcut not working #38

Open mossescurie opened 2 years ago

mossescurie commented 2 years ago

So I managed to get the application running, connected my device and was also already able to save stuff from my iPad on my Windows PC. Now I would very much like to be able to use the request data option.

Sadly for some unknown reason it's not working. The window that opens on windows is non-responsive. Cannot do anything with it besides killing it via taskmanager. The iPad shows directly after pressing the get data shortcut a file "computer_data.json" thats tiny (35Byte).

How can I troubleshoot/solve this issue?

I have added an orangeshare-1.7.0-console.exe to the latest release. It would be great if you could run that (after quitting the current installation). It will start Orange Share directly without any tray icon. In the console you will see any errors that might occur. Could you please try the request data option again and send me the error?

I'm guessing that the error will be something like this.

The good news is that I'm currently reworking all the internals in Go which should also fix errors like these. The bad news is that (unless this is an easy fix) I will probably not put in too much effort into the current version anymore. But once I'm done with the new version, it should all be a bit nicer.
