#17 Crashes if it was minimized when it was closed

[Simone]

If FreeMeter was minimized when it closed, it gives an error the next time it starts up.
Here's the error:
----------------------------------------
Message: Parametro non valido.
Stack trace:

in System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor(Int32 width, Int32 height, PixelFormat format)
in FreeMeter.Form1.Form1_Borders()
in FreeMeter.Form1..ctor()
in FreeMeter.Form1.Main()
----------------------------------------

If I delete the config file, it starts up correctly.
Here's the config file that causes the crashes:

WindowX, WindowY, DispWidth and DispHeight seem to be wrong.

I just wanted to confirm I see the same behavior, and that changing the "<WindowIsVisible>False</WindowIsVisible>" line to "<WindowIsVisible>True</WindowIsVisible>" stops the crash from occurring (v1.5.2873).

Yes, it's correct, it doesn't crash, although the position and the size are not the ones it had when it was closed.

I also noticed this bug. It appears to be <WindowIsVisible>False</WindowIsVisible> that causes the failed startup (setting this value to True allows normal startup).

Just wanted to say that I fixed the problem myself a few days ago.
I'm uploading a patch to be applied to the source file http://freemeter.meta-forge.com/index.php?path=&download=FreeMeter_v1.3.2401_VS2005_CS_Src.zip\).

File Added: FreeMeter.patch
