Thread: My Use&Development log

edit ignore that....it is an indexing error

i'll have the development team take a look and figure it out.

Do you see a section that says "StackTrace:" and if so can you post that too?

no stacktrace anywhere.

can I delete that db somehow and reindex to see if I can replicate the problem?

Yea its located in
C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application\openMobile\OMMedia
on xp and
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\openMobile\OMM edia
on vista/win7

deleted file, problem replicated.

it indexed the files, then when I did exit -> quit, the error came back.

now everytime I open OM it gives me the error. still no txt file in my plugin folder for debug.

edit: unchecked auto-indexing and now no more error. so it's def. related to indexing (or auto indexing)/database

I had the development team try about a dozen different potential issues to replicate the error and couldn't find anything. Next version has better debugging and error handling built-in (as well as dozens of changes), so it will either be fixed or at least tell us exactly what went wrong.

We're working on targeting the cause of the crash, but I and others have been unable to consistently reproduce the issue, so we will likely continue to need your input on the issue. I can confirm that the Debug.dll is not generating the txt file, but that should be an easier fix. Thank you for your patience on the matter.

Edit: Dang... 2nd place

I'm not in a rush. I'll continue playing with it and try to help you test it.

what can I read to try and understand the skinning process? I'd like to work on that.

Skin design is the one area of openMobile that we haven't quite gotten down to a simple point and click experience. Skinning can either be done from any managed programming language (theres about 20 to choose from) or from a skin designer.

The skin designer is still in the process of being overhauled so the new version hasn't been released but the previous version and instructions are available here:

I'll take a look. I really, really like the eLite UI:

sleek, simple, huge buttons.
