Last Thursday I was repeatedly able to reproduce the freeze using my QL/E
v3.13 wip (work-in-progress). I then reduced the steps needed to get the
freeze. In the end I can say you can get the freeze when doing this
scenario:
1. Start QL/E (e.g. start QPC2.exe).
2. From now on do not use the mouse, do not use the mouse pointer.
3. After the BOOT sequence of QL/E is completed (SBASIC job 0 is
minimised
as "System" in the button frame, wait until Photo QL has completed
displaying the QL collection photo) press <ALT>+<\> to pick "System".
4. Now that you see the BOOT process windows in the middle of the screen
press <ALT>+<F> to pick QPAC2 "Files".
5. Once QPAC2 "Files" is on screen press <F2> then <W> followed by
<ENTER>
to choose the drive "WIN1_" as the Source Directory.
6. Now the QL/E system freezes!
Urs,
I repeated your process to the letter with SMSQ/m (8217) and QPC2
(4.02/3.22) and an unchanged copy QLE.win from the Nov.2015 update. Both
did NOT freeze on access to WIN1_.
I selected and Viewed the Boot file from Files using only the keyboard. No
problems.
My laptop is already in its seventh year with a conventional SATA HDD
running W$7.
Yours I suspect, is running W$10 from an SSD. Could that be an issue?
(...)
I then found an easy workaround for the Freeze case.
Perform one time a simple SAVE WIN1_boot_bak (e.g. between steps 3 and
4) and you never get the freeze.
My feeling is that QPAC2 Files has a problem when displaying the content
of the chosen Source Directory WIN1_ at exactly the position where QPAC2
Files is positioned in above mentioned scenario.
So you suggest to write something to WIN1_ before opening Files?
That's something my normal Boot already does. A list of actually loaded
extensions is generated and saved before I have time to do anything useful.
That is the beauty / problem with SMSQ/E, everybody has a completely
different Boot.
Enjoy the sunny Sunday!
At the moment it's quite gray here.
That's why I have a sunny picture of the Scottish Highlands as wallpaper.
QLE forever!
Bob
