[BUG] Axy loosing all settings on crash

 

This morning some process crashed when we started Axy with the /watch option.
Well...Axy was still runnning, so it wasn't a total crash, looked as if watchdog had a hickup.
There was no dump file created.

After re-starting Axy, *all* settings were gone.
(Device maps, view layout, tracking devices, literally everything...)

Lessons learned:
1) It takes quite some time to manually restore everything... :-/
2) Backup your settings on a daily basis

Cheers.

Eric.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the heads up, we will try to look out for it.
But without being able to reproduce it or without a dump log it is unlikely we will find out the source of the bug in the near future.

Warmest regards,

Hi Eifert.

I managed to screenshot one of those crashs (this without loosing all settings...:-)).

Hope this helps a bit?

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.


For example:


<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>


When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
