Filmulator stopped suddenly working...

Software Filmulator

hi :slight_smile:
I’ve been using Filmulator on a newish pc with Mabox (Manjaro + OpenBox) for a couple of months without any issue.
This morning after already successfully developing a few photos, I opened a new one, tweaked it as I wanted then when I clicked “Save TIFF” nothing happened for a few seconds and then Filmulator crashed. There was a 10+ MB output file, but (as expected) it was corrupt and didn’t open.
I’ve tried to delete and reinstall the Appimage, but no luck. I’ve tried with the latest nightly build, to delete the Filmulator files in the .cache & .config folders, it didn’t work.
There’s a way to sort this out?

thanks :smiley:

Try renaming ~/.local/share/filmulator, maybe the database is screwed up?

Maybe send me the old filmulatorDB file to investigate. And maybe start Filmulator from a terminal and send me the terminal output.

I wouldn’t expect the act of saving to do anything that would cause it to break…

Hi, thanks for the reply :smiley:
This is the terminal output:

How do I send you the filmulatorDB file? What should I rename & what’s the new name I should write?
Again: many thanks :+1:

Also, don’t know why but apparently now it’s working again… (haven’t done anything except opening it once from the terminal, closed and opened again by opening a raw file with Filmulator…).
Not complaining if it stays this way :smiley:

This doesn’t seem to show anything as being wrong at all. Alas, I don’t know why it started working again…

I’ll sure come back here if it starts misbehaving again :wink:
