Elite Dangerous Buttons has stopped working

[luilegeant]

Hello,

First of all thank you for the amazing job.

Problem The plugin crashes when editing the elite keybindings.

Expected behaviour The application does not crash. 😄

How to reproduce (at least for me)

• I have a current set of programmed "actions" from this plugin configured on my stream deck.
• My streamdeck is showing these "actions" currently (I use it as a list of things I should not forget to set).
• I've changed my hotas in this case, but it did happen previously if I changed my hotas to another usb port. (see next line if you don't understand why I mention this)
• I start elite and need to reconfigure some/all keybindings (you know how elite is famous to remember those) 😢
• I open the Elite > Options > Controls to set and reset my keybindings...
• I change the presets from what elite selected for me (in this case "Keyboard And Mouse") and I select Empty
• About 2 seconds later crash... (See picture above)
• Here is the log file. pluginlog.log
• I press
• I set up some controls
• I click cancel or apply and get an exception again => although this one is not very regular.

Complementary information:

• it is a Steam install of Elite Dangerous and it is started via Steam (no idea if it has an impact)

The error message in the log is :

The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\luilegeant\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings\StartPreset.start' because it is being used by another process.

So, something is locking that file, causing the plugin to fail.

I added a retry mechanism in version 2.3.1 for reading StartPreset.start

please try if that fixes your problem

Amazing, it seems to have done the trick ! I did the same process as described above and switch to various pre-sets and no crash 🥳

The log file seems to correlate that everything went fine. pluginlog.log

Thank you, for me this can close the ticket.
