Some questions

[bean]

Hi, I got some questions.

1. When I set Automatically Background Indexer to True, AL will crash on restart. Anyway to fix that?
When that happend I had on old backup I installed instead. But that didn't work.

2. After a long search I found out that my AL config (user.config) file was not saved in the path I have chosen (Under General). Can the path to the config file be change to use the path the user type in? I really like to have only 1 directory I have to make a backup off where all the files are located so I can use a clean backup if everything should fail.

3. In the library "Indexer" I have some files that are zero bytes. Shouldn't that contain the indexed files after having synchronized the library (just guessing)? Or do we have to synchronize the Library everytime it's loaded to speed up the search?

1. It should not crash when the indexer is running. Send me the log (AL.log in the temp folder). What OS are you using?
2. Sorry, but the Microsoft default setting stuff doesn't allow that, so no way to change that currently.
3. The index (for search and the synchronized library) is saved in "library_index.xml". The files you see are used for locking, so AL and the indexer don't update the index file at the same time. So 0 byte length is ok. The idea of the indexer is to not have to synchronize all the time. The indexer will pick up changes from the runtimes you added on the tab "Settings > Runtimes". (Please be aware, that adding p:\poser will actually only index file changes inside "p:\Poser\runtime\libraries", so if you need anything inside p:\poser indexed, you'll have to add these paths manually. This is to not index stuff that's not inside a library folder.)
You can stop the indexer from the tray icon's context menu or check how many updates it did to the index (status).

I use Vista64bit. There's no log file in my Temp dir.

When I restart my PC, I need to synchronize the libraries the first time I start AL or it will take forever to load the folders in AL. But once I have done the synch, the libraries opens fast, and it doesn't matter how many times I restart AL, it will still load fast. But only until I restart my PC and then I have to synchronize it again or it will take about 5 minutes to open a library.
I have had AL to work without synchronizing before where it loads fast right after a reboote, so I was guessing it now misses to read the indexfile.

Where do you have the settings saved?

Search for AL*.txt to find the logfiles. Try entering "%Temp%" into exporer, that should usually find the correct folder.

I found the log file. It was 14MB though so I deleted it and created the crash again but only this was writend in the log file:
"-----------------------
SettingsUpToDate: True"

Although windows error window says "System.IO.DirectoryNotFound".

My AL dir: d:\Poser Pro\Advanced_Library_1_9_0_0   (I just overwrite files whenever a new update is out).

My config file Dir: C:\Users\ny\AppData\Local\xxx\Advanced_Library.exe_Url_0wmu4uymohf3fyzcor0vf3mwe4fjdant\1.9.2.13

Could you please post the whole error message?
