| | wrote on 19.12.24 at 17:00 | | | A few days ago, I encountered a significant issue with the Streamwriter app (version 6.0.1.1158-5cc9d41) on two different computers. Since installing this version a few days after its release, I hadn't experienced any issues until recently, when the background settings mysteriously reset. A few days later, the app forced me to navigate through all the setup dialogs as if I were launching the app for the first time. Upon investigation, I discovered that the streamwriter_settings.ini file had been reduced to 0KB, indicating that the settings were completely wiped out, and the streamwriter_data.inf file had been reset as well. Fortunately, I had saved backups of the files, so I could revert them back. This repeated reset has been quite frustrating, disrupting my workflow and requiring me to reconfigure on both computers. I would appreciate it if this issue could be addressed promptly to prevent further inconvenience without requiring constant manual intervention. |

Does it happen when you close streamWriter manually or only when you shutdown/logoff while streamWriter is still running? |

Troubleshooting is difficult since I can't predict when it will occur.
When this issue happens, it resets key sections of the streamwriter_settings.ini file, reducing the file size from 4KB to 3KB, affecting settings such as window width and height and my custom color scheme. It also updates the streamwriter_data.dat file because the last updated sections from the streamwriter_settings.ini have been removed. Once, it required me to set up the app again like new. Since the setup wizard only runs on startup, I assumed this was understood. |
