Hi @idsks555,

Thx for reaching out.

Could please add the log file? And do you see any kind of error (message)?

I get the same problem on Windows 10. The new version 12 does not launch. The old version 11 is still functioning. The new version 12 does not even give me a log in the log folder.

Hi @oawd,

Hmmm, that's really strange. There have been some internal updates since 0.11.0, I assume this is causing the issue.

ATM I don't have access to a Windows machine, will try to do some tests with a VM.

In the meantime, if you are able to get any logs/messages/…, that would be helpful.

I was able to get some log information through Windows ProcMon. log.txt

I tried to filter event 'Audit Process Creation' -> Log only Success. Then 'Event viewer' security view logged it. But in reality nothing happened with 'Run as administrator'. 1.txt 2.txt

'Audit Process Creation' -> Log only Failure. Nothing logged in 'Event Viewer'.

C:\Users\ ___\ .pdfzoomwizard\log.txt -> NOT FOUND

@oawd @idsks555 I just resolved #478, which is released as 0.12.1. The underlying problem might also caused issues on Windows. Would you mind trying the new release?

idsks555 commented 10 months ago

I did 'Run as administrator' > chose a file > deselect 'copy' > chose 'Fit Width' > RUN (overwrite) > INFO-Succeded. But in reality no overwrite occured. The file modified date isn't changed and ALL BOOKMARKS REMAINED 'inherit zoom' mode as they were earlier. The file was not in 'Read-only' mode. Here is the tested file and PdfZoomWizard log --> log.txt Old_&_New_Testament.pdf

@idsks555 thx for trying it out!

I'm glad it now launches on Windows 10 again. The log you posted looks like a problem with the underlying PDF lib, different from this issue here. I will open a separate issue and debug it.

@beatngu13 Both new versions 0.12.1 and 0.13.0 do launch for me. I did not notice further issues.

idsks555 commented 10 months ago

@oawd, kindly test with the pdf I linked or any other, is it only my pc or app itself.

beatngu13 commented 10 months ago

@idsks555 I will keep you updated via #483.
