Fatal error

Coldmami · September 10, 2019 at 5:01 PM

Hi,

I am trying to encrypt tour.xml file and I am getting message "Fatal error the krpanotools.exe process crashed"

Other tours were encrypted without issue. It was the same story with this file when I had 1.19pr16 and now 1.20.
What could be the problem?

I had this issue with an xlm containing a quite big portion of code in comments

Code

<!-- about 30 lines of code  -->

I removed this part and then the encryption goes without problem anymore.
I don't know if it can help you.

Thanks, you were very close :)
turned out that I had --> left in the code somewhere between scenes.

Hi,

if possible please send me the xml files that cause the crashing.

Just a '-->' somewhere alone can't be the reason, there must be also something else...

Best regards,
Klaus

Hi)

I also had one such file and after some testing I found out that the reason was a typo in a comment. I had this

Code

accidentally instead of the proper

Hi,

even such can't cause a crashing, I have checked and also tested that a several times.

So if you have a file that crashes the encrypt tool, please send it to me.
Currently I have unfortunately no idea how it could crash...

Best regards,
Klaus

I had some time and experimented with the above mentioned 'problematic' XML file by removing bits of code and encrypting it and the result is the simple XML file (attached) which causes 1.20 Krpanotools to crash here on my Win10 , 64 bit.

If I remove the first comment with a typo or correct it, the file is encrypted without any problem.

I confirm the problem (also on win10, 64 bit)

Note that if using 'ENCRYPT XML droplet.bat' there is no real crash and no error message but it produce an empty file (instead of the encrypted content).

Hi,

Thanks for the example!
With it I was able to reproduce and fix the problem.

The fix will be included in the next release (soon).

Best regards,
Klaus
