Topic: Error on start up DC

Hello.

I set chekbox in field "Enable HTTP Proxy?", but I did not fill other proxy-related fields. And now DC can't start up, since it causes an error.

Help me, please.

Thank you.

Kasper,

thank you for quickly response. So, here is exception description:

I got you method of solution before, but it is bad method. Because I lose all string patterns, datastore's and dictionary's connections, etc..
In general, in my opinion, using proprietary binary file for save user's pref..s in OSS is not good idea.

OK I've identified the issue and fixed it. But unfortunately you are out of luck timing-wise, because we are right now doing a release, so the fix cannot make it in there. So for now I guess you need to live with the workaround. Or build an unreleased version from the source code and modify your userpreferences using that version.

Kasper,

you already post newest realese. It so quickly!

High regards.
