ok - i ran a diff between the folders and it came up with the following:

imhex-1.32.2-Windows-Portable-x86_64]$ git diff --name-status  ../../Program\ Files/ImHex/  .
A       ./PORTABLE
A       ./config/achievements.json
A       ./config/settings.json
M       ../../Program Files/ImHex/workspaces/default.hexws

starting from the bottom, copying in the portable's files into the installed-dir:

workspaces/default.hexws - relaunch: still crashes
both settings files - relaunch: still crashes
PORTABLE - relaunch: works, no crash
restore workspaces/default.hexws - relaunch: works
remove settings files - relaunch: works

finally:

remove PORTABLE
remove %localappdata%\imhex
=> app launches. no crash

Doing a diff in the localappdata imhex:
turns out its the config/settings.json file ; quite a bit of differences to be fair - so i think it has to do wtih a deprecated setting causing the crash (i can probably do more research) - but really the settings loader might handle outdated entries better.

if i had to guess it is items like (old) "hex.builtin.setting.general.auto_load_patterns": 1 vs (new) "hex.builtin.setting.general.auto_load_patterns": true

Hey! Could you send me your settings.json file by any chance? Definitely sounds like an upgrade issue from these old versions. Should be very easy to fix if I can reproduce it

of the breaking one, here goes; i forget the actual version that created this (or rather the version i had running before the latest install - though i have an installer that is imhex-1.21.2-win64.msi which is likely the one)

Thank you!
I made a bunch of changes to the settings interface now so it can ignore and default-initialize settings values that it doesn't understand instead of just crashing. This will be fixed in the next release (or the nightly that's being built right now if you'd like to use that)
