Crash if last file was moved

Post by kad-energy »

Hello,
on new beta version: if in the startup screen "load last file" is selected and
the file is moved to another folder, the daslight do not start...
I have deinstalled the software and did a new installation.
So the problem was solved...

Hi kad-energy,

Strange. On Windows, when the file does not exist, a small window appears to click OK to continue.

Hi kad-energy,

Just tested this on Mac and can see the problem. The 'File not found' window that Pol mentioned does appear but it's hidden behind the Daslight 4 splash screen. This is a bug and I have reported this to the developers so they can fix this in the next Beta.

In the meantime a work around is to start Daslight 4 don't click the splash screen, wait till it holds on 'Initializing Some Nice Effects' then hit enter. The software should open okay as the 'File not found' window will be in focus.
