Random crashes #61

Closed Eliasyoussef47 closed 3 years ago

Eliasyoussef47 commented 5 years ago

The program crashes seemingly randomly. I've noticed it almost every time when I close a game (The Outer Worlds to be exact) and go to check how long I have been playing it that day, But I just had it crash after closing PhpStorm.

How it looks like: I close a game. I right click ProcrastiTracker's NotifyIcon, the context menu opens but it's unclickable, if I click it crashes and windows asks me if I want to close the program.

Hmm, I've pretty much never had it crash, or receive reports that it does, in its near 10 years of existence.. can you think of anything non-standard that may be running on your computer, especially things that may affect window/ui/input stuff?

I've also used it with hundreds of games, including the Outer Worlds, and never a problem :) Though it doesn't seem to have registered time for Outer Worlds, strangely enough.

This also happens to me a few times, generally it happens after idling for a while. It is more towards not responding while showing 'what have you been doing in the last xx minutes' windows than a hard crash. Procrastitracker can be restarted afterwards and only time since idling is missing. I can try to reproduce and record the exact scenario for the crash if @aardappel is interested in it. Not a big issue imo, only slight annoyances. I love procrastitracker! it made me realize how much time I actually spend on the computer over the week. Btw do you have a donation link?

Yes, and exact repro case would be good, though it is not a given that it happens the same way on each computer.

And thanks! I don't have donation set up for PT specifically. I have a github sponsors account, but don't feel obliged to use it :)

Thanks @andre-dana ;)

Thanks @andre-dana ;)

You're welcome! It's not much, but mostly it's to show my appreciation. I can't create an exact repro case, it didn't crash at all in the last few days.

I'm sorry for not responding to or updating this issue, I completely forgot about it.

I was able to solve this by searching for everything mentioning the program's name and deleting them. I then reinstalled the program and it has been working flawlessly since.
