PGO crashes on Export to Folder

[martin_lists]

Finally got all my Group messages downloaded overnight, 2380 at a time :-)  However, this morning, when I tried the Export to Folder function the program crashed without saving anything.  A "0 kb" file appeared in the target directory but then the program stopped.  This has happened three times in a row so it doesn't appear to be a one-off.  I'm using version 4.0.814 on Windows 7.

Currently the interface does not prevent you from clicking export if you have no groups selected.  Might you be clicking export without selecting the group?  Export should work.

Good thought, but no - the Group is ticked, I'm prompted to enter a path to save to, I enter the path, click Export, then a window pops up saying PGO has stopped working.

PM me the group name and I'll test it out myself.  Thanks.

Hi Dan,

I tried Export to Folder on two different randomly chosen groups and it does fall over.

I think you could try any of the groups you have.

It'd be interesting if its working for you but not for me & Martin. Maybe something that's in your DEV environment but missing from the compiled code?

Cheers,

Wilson.

Thanks, Wilson.  I noticed that PGO crashes if I click on "Check for Updates" too.

Thanks, Wilson.  I noticed that PGO crashes if I click on "Check for Updates" too.

I look at adding some debug output for the UpdateCheck in the next build so I can get a better idea what you are seeing.  Thanks.

Update:  I'm on .813 so that may be my issue. Currently updating to .814

.Net 4.5.2 needs 1.18Gb of disk space! The NT users aren't going to like that :)

Exported successfully with the new build (815) - thanks.  One query - are the new .db3 files meant to be a lot smaller than the old .mdb ones?  The current saved database for my key Group is 33.5 MB, compared to 75.9 MB for the last .mdb file almost a year ago.

Yes. SQLite is much more efficient than MS Access.
