Original report from Fred B at 13:37:07 on 2011-11-25

I have had to restart the Radio downloader program after starting the running of the cleanup option several times, there were about 40 episodes that I store on a NAS that I needed to delete and it took several attempts to eventually delete them all. has this been a reported bug before? Thanks Fred

Could you use the option to report the error and then update this bug with a report ID?

When Radio Downloader crashes, it shows a dialog giving you the option to 'Send Error Report' - if you pick that it will then send a report, and (all being well) show a message informing you that your report was sent successfully and giving the report number.

I see now that the application doesn't crash but minimises to the task bar amd so therefore doesn't give you the alert that you state. sorry about the confusion. I guess not a bug but a confusing action. Fred

Sorry, I'm slightly struggling to understand your report. Could you describe the sequence of actions you are performing, what the application does, and what behaviour you'd expect to see instead?

Also, what version of Windows are you running?

Is your F: drive a mapped network drive, and is the crash repeatable?

F: drive is my external hard drive. Well, the drive letter changes, but it's the same drive. Tried it again today, and it worked fine.

These crashes were caused when attempting to clean up downloads and their audio files when part or all of the path to the audio file no-longer existed (e.g. a removable drive was missing or had a different letter, or a network share was not available).

Resolved in 107571f - the application will now also prompt if a drive or share is not present (in the same way it does when cleaning up orphaned downloads) to give the user the opportunity to cancel the clean up and perform it again later when it is available.
