debug failed warning when launching Coollector

Sat Feb 24, 2024 4:57 pm

After today's update, I relaunched Coollector and was greeted with a warning. https://imgur.com/6XFhb1H

I dismissed the warning by clicking Continue. After that, the program seems to work as usual, but I thought I'd let you know anyway. I'm on an old Mac running OS 10.13.6 High Sierra.

Thank you very much for your report. I'm aware of a crashing bug and will release a new version soon.

Like what you describe, the problem happens just after updating the movie database, and the error message looks the same. The explanation is that after hot-swapping the old and the new databases, some variables are still tuned to the old database. The program ends up in a state where it crashes easily, but after a restart (or a crash) everything is fine again.

I'm puzzled by the chronology you describe. Are you sure it happened in that order?

Did you update only the movie database, or did you update the whole app?

Today's update downloaded something and installed it automatically, presumably adding movies and shows to the database. On reflection, I'm not sure if I relaunched Coollector after that happened, or if I just kept using the already running app.

I just quit the app and relaunched it, and the debug warning didn't appear again, so those variables you mentioned are probably updated now.

Ok, then your previous update was most probably an app update, thanks for the info!

I will release the new version and we'll see if bugs are still happening...
