my laptop ran out of battery whilst recording.
i’d disabled an acpi battery device in order to reduce latency so the system gave no warning and just died.
after a reboot the recorded file was fine.
but C3 booted with the KERNALBASE error.
the only way out was a settings file nuke.
however, i used Beyond Compare to start adding my old config back to the reset one. (a big thanks to @brad for choosing .json)
when I got to the recordings directory the KERNELBASE error came back.
i then looked at the CantabileRecordingInfo.json
that had been trashed.
once it was deleted i could go back to using the original settings file, and everything was back to normal.
(a copy of the settings file is in the crash dump .zip)
hi,
i didn’t keep a copy but did look at it in notepad+
it was full of NULL.
just like this example off the web: https://i.stack.imgur.com/h2mbg.jpg
which i think notepad+ uses when a character is unprintable.
I’m not sure what caused the original problem here (ie: the file full of nulls) but I suspect it’s a file system error as there’s no reason I can determine why Cantabile would write the file like this.
That said, I’ve made a fix for the next build that will at least allow Cantabile to start if the file is corrupted. You’ll get a message like this:
