klatrack hangs on win10

[surfrod]

been running klatrack on my laptop for quite a while.

just tried opening settings (settings gear) the past couple of weeks and noticed the process hangs.

klatrack is unresponsive, truly hung. task manager doesn't even kill the window (though background java process seems to end)

downloaded latest 1.01d and same behavior.

any pointers would be helpful... not sure what changed on my side

Thanks for logging issues like this. I don't always have time to work on them right away, but will try to get to them. When the window opens it is probably trying to read the Keps from the file. If that file is missing, maybe it hangs or crashes? Did you manage to get this working by doing a clean install, for example?

Chris,

I did try a clean install and hit the same issue. But perhaps by "clean" I didn't clean up if it tries to read the kep file from "some other" place.

What folder does it look for keps?

There are no instructions about how to do a "clean install".

Here's what came: Installation Instructions

There are no special installation instructions for this software.  Place 
it in a suitable directory and run it.  Java 1.8 runtime environment is 
required.  You can download it from java.com.

By default the settings and downloaded keps are written in your home
directory.  You can change that behaviour by launching the program with
a directory as a command line paramater.  Then the settings and keps will
be written in that directory.  This is useful if you want to have more than
one tracker monitoring different keps files or just a different set of
spacecraft.

What files/settings/things hidden am I looking for?

I tried to run from a command window
java -jar  KlaTrack.jar

and get the exact same behavior as the exe

you can close this issue.

found the data files and deleted them.

re-ran and after loading new nasabare, started up properly
