Just downloaded version .0.9.8. I think it logs in, but
I entered a snipe and it didn't work. I got this error:

Something really bad happened, and I don't know what. (1)

It also won't load any of the "my ebay" items.

    Using 1.0.6. Loads to 90% then hangs grabbing 487.13Mb virtual memory
    seems to be working but on what? I do have a long history of past bids and
    snipes, maybe this. This version does not uninstall cleanly, so even if I uninstall
    restart the machine it loads the old data I think, either that or it is exceptionally
    buggy. It appears that the only solution is to reformat the drive which seems
    rather excessive. I desparately need the locations of the data files so that I can
    manually delete them. Once these are deleted I THINK that the program may
    load properly.

    OS X 10.4.6

    Greetings,
    For your issue, go to Terminal (it's in Utilities under
    Applications), start it up. Make sure JBidwatcher is NOT
    running (Force Quit it if you have to).

    At the Terminal prompt, type:
    mv ~/.jbidwatcher ~/.jbidwatcher.old

    Now try to start up JBidwatcher. It should prompt for
    configuration information as if it's a new install (which,
    more or less, it is).

    If that works, then there was some kind of a problem with
    the configuration files, somehow they got corrupted or were
    too large. If that doesn't work, then there's a more
    serious issue, probably a problem between some other app
    installed and Java.

    That worked. So either my auction files were too large though maybe there
    could be a way of thinning them out whilst keeping auctions that I won, maybe
    in a seperate tab? then the complete would be ones that I either did not bid on
    or the price was above my max snipe price.

    Since I watch a few auctions to see what the prevailing going prices are before
    bidding then maybe a feature to export the final results to an xml or other such
    document may be possible, or would this be too bulky and slow the program
    down?

    I do have a new problem in that I cannot add new auctions either via add
    auction or get my ebay items. If I do searches these are added but not the
    auctions that I want to add

    Greetings,
    This support request was unfortunately not auto-assigned to me as it should have been, so I didn't see it until now. :(

    I'll be looking to move off of Sourceforge for issue tracking soon, as it's not working out very well.
