Hi Maarten,

i just tried the measure mode on the map tab. At first it differs a little bit from your GIANT user guide on page 110. There is no Stop-Button as described, only the toggle named "Start". 

 

The 1. Bug is:

You switch into measure mode and then draw some lines into the map. Then you hit ESC and "Clear" and get an alert "Object reference not set....". You press the OK-Button and SLX will close.

 

The other: You switch to measure mode, draw some lines and hit ESC. Then press the "Start" Button to end the measure mode. This works OK, but the just drawn lines were cleared.

 

Greetings, Walter

Hi Walter,

 

The 'Start' button turns into a 'Stop' button after you click on it.

 

The crash doesn't happen on my machine. Please send me an e-mail with the [Documents]\SimLauncherX.log file attached right after the crash happens and before you start SLX again (otherwise the log file will be overwritten). You can find my e-mail address on the front page of the user guide.

 

You can only perform one measurement at a time. If you click on 'Stop', SLX will leave measurement mode and the measurement line is cleared. If you want to keep the measurement line on screen, just press ESC and continue on with other activities: dragging the map around is still possible, but once you left click, another leg is added to the measurement line, which you can always remove again with the Backspace key.

 

thanks, Maarten

Hi Maarten,

sure we use the same program version?

Icons after activation:

 

You see, there is no Stop button.

 

Here the content of SimLauncherX.log from the first error:

You wrote "You can only perform one measurement at a time. ".

Then i can show you a secret feature of your program:

 

 

Greetings, Walter

Hi Walter,

 

I know now where the error occurs and I can prevent the crash. The same issue is also the cause of the text of the 'Start' button not updating. I need the complete log file to be able to get to the root cause of the issue.

 

thanks, Maarten

Greetings, Walter

Hi Walter,

 

If you don't want to send me an e-mail, it will be difficult for me to solve the issue. Please check the new version that I will release later this evening and see if you still have an issue with the measure feature.

 

thanks, Maarten

Hi Maarten,

i just sent you the mail.

I have tested SLX with a fresh Win7 account, the behaviour of the program is just like you said. Everything is alright.

 

Made a different test, i only started SLX and then i closed it. I got no error but in the logfile i found the following:

 

20150208100923 TRACE Error cleaning up: "System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\SimLauncherX.000' because it is being used by another process.

Thanks, Walter

Hi Walter,

 

Good to hear it's working now. Please also check the new version I just released. I included some extra logging, so if the problem reappears, please send me the log file again. The error message in your last log file is not a problem: it's just a temporary file that could not be deleted. You can manually delete all SimLauncherX.* files from your temp folder if you like.

 

thanks, Maarten

Hi Maarten,

it didn't work with my normal account, but it doesn't matter anymore because your new release is working as it should. Everything fine so far.

 

Thanks again for your quick support and response, Walter
