Version 2.1.0 build 3 - WIn10 regular crashing on exit ?

[CPR]

Just tried Positron Studio - a v nice IDE JohnB. But I'm regularly seeing this error on exiting the program.

It first repeatedly occurred when I was trying to add a new programmer, click apply & ok and then attempt to exit. Crash.
It's also occurred (on occasions) if I've loaded a new .bas source file - done some work on it - and then attempted to exit.
It's also occurred (seemingly?) having used the editor without changing the .bas file being worked on, after perhaps more than three hours or so?

The PC is WIN10, I7 CPU, 16Gb Ram. Positron - with latest bug fix ( 4.0.5.9-1.1.2.9 ) is installed on C:  -there's no other drive option given - However, your editor is on D: These are two separate SSD drives within the same machine. I mention that only in case it may have any bearing?

Is there a preferred installation location for Positron Studio ? I generally prefer to keep WIN10 as a separate install on C: with programs on D:

(EDIT) One other thought - are there any Library dependencies you're using that I may need to update?

I always skip that, it's kind a risky setting. Since the old day Windows wants the programs in the same OS nest . Only programs that are declare portable might not be affected.
Even worse that the program files folders are kept non writable. Then the program data are saved in programdata hidden folder, As using program from another drive, it cause several jumping.

Are you using Positron Studio without the crashes I'm getting? If so, can I ask, where you installed it?

[JohnB]

I am a little surprised that you are having these issues because I thought the programm was pretty stable now,  However, I have always installed it on the C drive althoughI don't see any reason why it should not work from another drive.  I have had the program running with 10 files open for days without crashes and I have had no reports from other users regarding stability so I suspect its something to do with your setup. There is only one Library that I use which is the PDFium DLL which I install with the main program executable. As a standard installation the Program uses Program File,s Program Data and Appdata directories, where are these located if you have your programs on you D drive,

I will look at adding a new programmer since it seems to be repeatable for you but I am not sure how I can help on your other issues.  Could you perhaps try re-installing it on your C drive?

Hi John, all those folders are located on C:

Could you perhaps try re-installing it on your C drive?

Sure, I'll give that a try and report back. Thanks for your help.

Also try running the installer and the program as administrator.

Hi John. I uninstalled Positron Studio. Then reinstalled it on C:\Program Files running the installer with Admin and then set "Run as adminstrator" for PositronStudio.exe. I also shifted the programmer I'm using (NSDS) into C: together with a test basic program and unfortunately I'm seeing exactly the same error.

So I uninstalled Positron Studio and this time installed version 2.1.0.2. Which appears to work perfectly ok. No memory crash on exit. So I'd suspect that whatever the difference is between 2.1.0.2 and 2.1.0.3 is where this particular problem may lurk?

One question for 2.1.0.2. It initially opens full screen and then when it loads the basic program I was editing, it shrinks to windowed mode. I've set the shortcut link to PositronStudio.exe as "maximised" but that didn't help. Any idea what I need to tweak to prevent this windowed mode?

Could you try disabling Report Unused Variables and Unused Procedures. Looking at the changes in the last update, they were the most substantial.  If that improves stability for you I will know where to start looking.

Has anyone else had stability problems with release 2.1.0.3 of Positron Studio?

Another thought: it is possible that it is data related, would you be able to send me a set of bas and inc files with which you are experiencing the access violations.

If you close the app in full screen, next time it opens it will open in full screen. I save the windows position and state onm closing so it should always open in the state it was closed.
