Undo.cfg bug in 2.03

Credo · Post by **Credo** » Sat Mar 15, 2003 5:13 pm

Hi there

thanks for hard work with bugfixing.
I know, by experience, that its not the most fun part of developing software.

*************
Subject: "Undo.cfg" message box

Platform: Live 2.0.2 on all platforms

Bug: Under special circumstances an message box popped up saying that
"Undo.cfg could not be opened".

Status: Fixed
****************

I did not get this behaviour in 2.02 or earlier, but I do now (in 2.03)!

I have not figured out why or when I get it. All I can say is that I had this behaviour after updating to 2.03 and starting a new project. (that means not continuing working on a 2.02 project)

But if you have a few testcases for this one, send them to me and I will run them.

I run Mac OS X (10.2) Titan 500 Mhz 1024 Mb Ram

Hi Credo,

please let us know if you can reproduce it.

In the Live 2.0.2 it was really simple to get by open a song, then open the "Save As" dialog box but cancel the saving. Then you got this message for the next action you did in Live.

regards,
Alex

I do not get this behaviour the way you described it.

I keep working on it and report if I find it.

I have tried to observe under what conditions this occur in Live.
The behaviour is not consequent, sometimes it appears sometimes not.
This is what I have seen so far:

* load a project
* load another project (seems to be the same project that causes the truble every time)
* load a third project
-> message: cant load <path>:undo.cfg

It seems if this has occurred once then the program is in a wrong mode and even if I can load and play other projects and even the buggy one, but when quiting live and running it again I get a question if I want to recover my work - Pressing OK results in another message: Failed to access the undo history file, switching over to memory based undo...

Maybe the undo file is locked in some way??

Could this be caused by a faulty project?

I don't think that this behaviour is caused by a certain project. Does anybody else still have problems with undo.cgf in 2.0.3? Please describe these problems and how to reproduce them! Thanks in advance.
