This error occurs when a Barry application exits unexpectedly, or crashes, since the device is left in the "Desktop open" mode. I try to close this whenever possible, but obviously is not foolproof. The opening packet handshaking is not well understood, and needs more reverse engineering work. The Windows software would handle this properly, so it is possible, it just needs to be figured out. The changes would need to be made to probe.cc once the protocol has been analyzed. > barrybackup won't work after the first try with btool as well.

Yes. :-) The problem is that btool defaults to an empty password, and passes that password variable to the desktop.Open() call every time. To fix this and make it more user-friendly, you would need to change it so you pass in a 0 pointer if no password was available, and catch the BadPassword exception if the device requires a password. As you noted, barrybackup does this properly, while btool takes the shortcut. > I haven't really taken a look into barry's source, but I think I could handle > this, if you want. I'd be happy to accept a nice clean patch for this.
