Director saves corrupt shows with 0kb

[Jens-DroesslerParticipant]

Well, what the title says. I have Director 1.64 on a Windows 10 64bit system, runs just fine. When I try to store a show, the bar for that grows like it should, but the yellow error triangle in the top right corner pops up. The log shows like 20 or more errors within a few milliseconds now. Clicking on the stored show (yes, a file is created) it says 0kb and on trying to recall it says “corrupt show”. I tried to run the Director as admin in case it is a user privileges problem, but it didn’t help. A search didn’t offer results or clues about the problem. What’s going on?

[SteffenRParticipant]

it works as expected on my laptop Win10 64bit

can you post the log entries?

I had the same problem. In the file path are “German” letters äöü ….. The editor can not handle this.
Try to create a “new” user in Windows without this letters in the username / file path.

WTF??? No Unicode support??? Why is then even a transferable 0kb file created?

If I create a new user and start Director there, I probably loose all my previously done settings, right? Where is the location where the “current” settings (not shows) are stored?

Hello, Jens,
Unfortunately, I can not tell you that either.
To narrow down the problem a bit, you can switch to “Show detailed event logs” in Utility / Eventlog – About Setup.
With me there come a lot of “Error writing and Could not open file” error when I try to save.

And in Log File a lot of Erros like this (…/J ? rgen/… :

Ah, very well then.

[EmmiParticipant]

Jens – check 1.70 … it looks like .. the Bug is fixed 🙂

Didn’t check yet, but I read it already in the 1.70 change log.
