Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Leave computer alone for some time, or
2. Computer has 'a lot to do' (CPU load, file system access)
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The following error message box appears: 

---------------------------

---------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hey, sorry for the late response.

This is happening apparently because I did not catch the exceptions in 
draw_icon. 

It should easily be solved by catching it and simply ignoring it or retrying 
it. Apparently the win32 errors out when a call has to wait for a while due to 
high cpu-stress.

Sadly I am (definitely for now) discontinuing my work on this project. I am 
working on a successor project which will tile windows cross-platform 
(linux/windows). It is a rather large project so it is going to take a while, 
but when it is finished I will be able to easily provide longterm support as 
I'll be a frequent user of the program as well.

No problem. I have actually managed to set up a Python debugging environment 
and have fixed this by catching the exception. I will most probably send you a 
push request (or whatever it is called in Mercurial) for my changes in the near 
future.

Hey!

First off, thanks a lot for helping out. I started this project as a mere 
learning experiment which is why it's using mercurial as well.

I (and I'm sure a lot of other people) am more comfortable with git. If you 
don't mind could you send push requests to 
https://github.com/Tzbob/python-windows-tiler ?

I will post on the frontpage that github is now the main repo.

Ok, I'm now working based on the Git repository. You will get my first push 
request in a few days.
