Can't launch current version about barcodrod.io HOT 9 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting this issue @harrysargent. Will begin investigating this evening. I may ask for more information as I hadn't come across any crashes on start up in my testing, will keep you posted.

from barcodrod.io.

The settings.json workaround fixes 1.8 for me; I'll keep an eye out for the 1.8.1 update and feed back when it arrives

1.8.1 fixes the bug, both as an update and as a fresh install. Thanks Mark!

Ack @mejsler @naillamarb, thanks for the +1's. I haven't been able to reproduce this yet, but I'm still investigating and will ship a few changes that may fix (or at the very least help diagnose) this issue in a patch hopefully in the next week or so.

In the meantime, can you let me know if the app was installed directly from the MSIX on GitHub or the Microsoft Store? Also, can you check the following path to see if the settings.json file exists?

%localappdata%\packages\53383MarkHopper.570136E6C1E54_25krmwkbgncsa\LocalState\settings.json

If it doesn't, please try to create the file manually with this content:
{ "UserModified": false, "HistoryEnabled": true, "BackdropIndex": 0 }

...and try to launch again. If the issue is what I suspect, this may be a workaround to use 1.8 before I ship the next update. Thanks again.

I just submitted v1.8.1 to the Microsoft Store which includes a few potential fixes for this issue + basic logging support. It should be available within the next few days.

If the crash is not resolved once v1.8.1 is available, please send me the log file located at:

%localappdata%\packages\53383MarkHopper.570136E6C1E54_25krmwkbgncsa\LocalState\log.txt

@harrysargent Appreciate you testing that out. The workaround fixing the crash is a very promising indicator that the v.1.8.1 changes should properly address this issue. Will leave this open for folks to validate once released. Thanks again.

@harrysargent @naillamarb @mejsler v1.8.1 is now available on the Microsoft Store & GitHub and should address this issue.
https://github.com/MarkHopper24/barcodrod.io/releases/tag/v1.8.1

Please let me know if you are still encountering startup crashes after updating, otherwise will close this one out later today.
Thanks!
