EasyViewer2 Crash on File Open

[DrJeckyl14]

Hello,

I re-installed DasLight4 on a new MacBook Pro (16 pouces, 2019) running MacOS Monterey 12.1 (21C52).
I saved my 3D view in an EV2 file (to keep lights positions and avoid loosing them when re-patching)
Each time I try to open the file (or any other .ev2 file) Easyviewer crashes.
(sample crash log attached)

To add to my problem, I have checked the "Automatically start the last saved project" option in EV2.
So whatever I do it crashes. I cannot even re-patch everything.

Please help !

Hello,

Could you please send the whole text in a txt file ?

I'd love to and I have it ready, but the forum platform doesn't let me attach a simple txt file (nor .rtf, nor .doc).
Maybe there is a config option on my new Mac that hides extensions, but can't find it.
If you have another way for me to send it to you, I am your man....

Hello,

You can zip the file and send the archive (.zip) file

Thanks for your reactivity.

Hello TomHat,

Is the crash log of any help ?
I understand this may take a while to investigate.
Just to know if there is something else I can do to help.

Hello,

The crash seems to be caused by a fixture profile which contains no beams. Are you usung a smoke machine, maybe ?
Of course the software shouldn't crash, and we're working on a patch for this right now.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay : I was away for the week-end.
Yes indeed I am using a fog machine which is the BoomToneDJ Fog Spray 1000.
But I am suprised the fixture has no beam in DL4, as in real life it has an integrated led Par.

And unfortunately I cannot test a setup without it, because I have checked the "Automatically start the last saved project" option in EV2, which makes it crash as soon as it starts.

Sorry for these multiple messages... Just to let you know :

I uninstalled and re-installed Daslight to get rid of the "Automatically start the last saved project" setting in EV2.
I was able to save a simple EV2 file with only 2 Contest irLed-18x3, and re-open it.
And indeed when I had the BoomToneDJ Fog Spray 1000 and save, then re-opening the file makes EV2 crash.

At least now I can progress on the rest, and wait for your patch to add the fog spray.
Please let me know when the fix is ready.

Hello,

A fix would be to try and edit the fog machine's SSL file to give it a light beam if it doesn't yet have one.
In order to fix the "open last saved file" crash, you can just delete the file named _global.ini located near the .exe file in your install folder.
