    Hi,

    I changed some settings in the preferences dialog and since MComix does not want to start.

    I had two versions present on my PC:
    MComix 1.0 installed with synaptic
    MComix 1.2dev0 (extracted sources)

    I changed the preferences of MComix 1.2dev0, and since neither works.
    I completely uninstalled MComix 1.0 and deleted MComix 1.2dev0
    Then I installed the program again but the problem continues.

    There may exist a corrupt configuration file that is not removed during an uninstall ?

    Can you help me please? MComix looks really cool and I would like a little more use ;-)

    Thanks

    What traces do you get when starting MComix from a terminal?

    Preferences are stored in ~/.config/mcomix. Data (library, bookmarks, ...) is stored in ~/.local/share/mcomix.

    With this command:

    $ mcomix

    I get:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/mcomix", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('mcomix==1.00', 'console_scripts', 'mcomix')()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mcomix/run.py", line 187, in run
    and os.path.isfile(preferences.prefs['path to last file']):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/genericpath.py", line 29, in isfile
    st = os.stat(path)
    TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found

    If I remember correctly, I selected among others 'Automatically open the last viewed file on startup' in the preferences dialog

    I edited .config/mcomix/preferences.conf and I manually changed the value of "auto load last file" from true to false... And now I can open MComix 1.0 \0/

    Now I'll uninstall it and try with MComix 1.2dev0 (the version I want)

    I come back after

    Ok MComix 1.2.dev0 starts correctly again.

    If you want, I can do some tests to see if the error is systematic or occurs only with some files.

    Thanks again for your help !

    OK, I can reproduce this. I created a ticket [bugs:#94] and will look into it. Thanks for the feedback, don't hesitate to repport any other issue.
