Error or warning when opening directory test data

[xcasas]

Hi!

I just got this error when opening the test data in Tycoon. If I click ok everything still works though.

Thanks for the report. This error occurs when opening the directory? First open? Or re-open? It does not happen on my system. Can you paste the whole error stack from the console window? Also, which OS and julia version do you use?

I somehow suspect it is related to a third-party package I am using (I only use the convert function once - for conversion of old database formats, and it seems very unlikely that this was needed in your case). So, you can also try updating all packages in julia: press julia> ] to change into package manager, then type pkg> up.

Yes sorry!

Julia version 1.8.0. This is what I get in the console:

and it occurs when I open the directory, already the first time I do it. But also the following ones.

I tried updating the packages but the error persists

[alexriss]

I could not reproduce the error on windows, nor on Linux/WSL. However, I think I know where it came from, and I have released an update. You can update all packages as explained above - this time it should update SpmImageTycoon to version 0.3.7. Then restart julia and run the app (you can double-check the version in the app by clicking "About"). Please see if this fixes the error. Thanks!

[xcasas]

It worked !

Great, thanks for the help. And yes, it was in my code.... 😃
