sent to your mail the logs (ui.log and core.log) from Windows. The same error is present also using Ubuntu.

And, by the way, this highlighted me the fact that in Windows the app is not really "portable", i.e. if I have to use FrontEnd.exe from an USB key on pc of someone else, anyway the FrontEnd program leaves some traces in the main disk (c:) of the hosting computer --> possible point of improvement (please tell me if you desire I'll open a separate threat for this)

many thanks for your support
