#160 Can't open any document after install until new doc created
I recently installed XCE and experienced that upon attempting to open an existing document that XCE would silently exit.
It was not until I created a new document within XCE that I was then able to open any existing documents.
I have:
XML Copy Editor 1.2.0.4
Framework version: wxWidgets 2.8.10
OS: FreeBSD-7.2 i386
Thanks Wayne. Do you have a traceback by any chance? (Not to worry if you haven't!)
Best,
Gerald
Hi Gerald. No, I don't have a traceback because it exits silently, i.e. doesn't appear to be a crash. In any case no .core is produced.
I'll see if I can get anything useful out of truss when I get the chance. I can't do that straight away because I'm using it (XCE) heavily at the moment (great tool!) and I assume I'll have to perform a re-install and/or remove saved settings data.
Where are local user settings stored? I had a quick look and didn't see anything obvious in ~.
I just uploaded a truss log.
XCE actually bombed on me a little while ago while I was attempting a copy/paste between files, and it exited silently. When I restarted it and attempted to open a file, it exhibited the symptom of this report so I've been able to capture a truss without having to re-install, etc. I notice there is a SIGSEGV event right before it exits but I haven't had a chance to study it yet. With any luck you might get some clues from this if you have a chance to study it.
I should also add that what I see on screen is the file/open dialogue window outline appears briefly before it closes and XCE exits. Sometimes both panes are empty and sometimes it stays open long enough to draw the contents of the "directory" ("places" under Gnome) pane.
And the behaviour is the same regardless of the instigation method - menu, toolbar, shortcut keys, and also occurs for "File/Open Large Document"
I have the same problem. OS: Fedora 11. XCE 1.2.0.4.
A fix is in preparation, hopefully released soon.
The xmlce config is stored in ~/.xmlcopyeditor (similar on XP/Vista, haven't tested on 7 yet).
Will uninstall/reinstall now to try and reproduce this. (Just fixed a couple of other errors but couldn't reproduce this one right away.)

hmmmm. i just can't seem to reproduce this :-( wonder if i need to switch to a more recent g++?
on my ubuntu setup files load fine after a fresh reinstall...
could you mail a file that crashed the system on reinstall to gnschmidt at users dot sourceforge dot net?
Thanks!
Gerald
I was wondering if it has been fixed here [e60ce0].
Will you try the latest version?

It doesn't silently exit anymore, but it is still broken.
Try:
/media/1TStor/playspace/git$ xmlcopyeditor Documentation/git-am.xml
Result is the error (inside the application window):
"Cannot open /media/1TStor/playspace/git/"
I'm not going to waste a lot of time on this, as the error alone indicates a serious problem.
Thank you for report the problem. It should be fixed in the next release. [7c8f81]
