Crash on startup

[Shulyaka]

Hi!

The application won't start anymore. It says "Jira StopWatch encountered an unhandled error". Below is the part of the log file. Note that it is in Russian for some reason. The "Система конфигурации не прошла инициализацию" means 'Configuration system has not been initialized'.

Reinstall does not help

Your config file has probably become corrupt. Try to delete this folder and start the application again:

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\StopWatch

This problem should be fixed in the latest release. What version are you running?

[Shulyaka]

You are right, after removing of the config file it works fine again. However it would be good if the application would recover automatically on this kind of error, or prevent the config file from corruption. So it's now more of a feature request than an issue. Should I close the issue or leave it open? I think I had a power outage when it broke. I'm using the latest version 1.9.0.

[carstengehling]

Just keep it open. I use the built-in config system of .net, and it is a bit "black box". But I'll figure something out.

[carstengehling]

I just remembered, that this has already been fixed and will be part of the next release.
