Crash with F5

[hansnolte]

Hi sagiegurari,

I make a fresh Install with
https://github.com/sagiegurari/brackets-portable/releases/tag/1.4.0.3

No PlugIns are installed.

F5 (Reload with Extentions)... Crash!

[sagiegurari]

Will check, maybe due to recent changes.

Many thanks!

looks like a brackets issue: adobe/brackets#10779
I remember this didn't happen at the past, so I guess it is a bug in their 1.4 release.

I do not believe that is the same error.

For a test, I have the original Brackets V.1.4 from http://brackets.io/ in Sandboxie installed.
Works without problems.

Just verified it.
I tested the old and new launchers with brackets 1.3 and it works good.
I did F5 many times and it works like a charm.

1.4 brackets however crashes just like you said.
Based on that test and the fact there is an open issue for brackets, there is no other conclusion.
The issue is in brackets.
Maybe the launcher makes the issue more often (not sure as i didn't test brackets as is without portable launcher), but the root cause is still there and I have no way of fixing it in my wrapper.
sorry.

Hi sagiegurari,

thank you for your tests.
That's bad news.
So bracket is hard to use.
I think I'll go back to the 1.3.

Thank you very much for your help.

Many Greetings

if you go back to 1.3, I recommand you copy the BracketsPortable.ini from my latest 1.4 release to there as it improves many things and prevents data loss.

I have a temporary solution from here
adobe/brackets#11477

Go to (In my case)
D:\Bracketsportable\App\Brackets\www

Open main.js in your editor.

Search for
window.location.href = href;
and rename it to
setTimeout(function(){window.location.href = href;},1000);

Works for me.

BTW.
Your latest 1.4 Version is awesome.
I have bracketsportable on my D: Partition.
No copy to the C partition anymore.
GREAT!!!
Brackets starts very quickly.

thanks for the feedback :) and thanks for the workaround, and ya, the 1.4 changes I did help both performance but more importantly it helps protect your files from being deleted in case you open/close/reopen brackets too fast.
only downside is the file/dir open dialog shows some error, but workaround for that is to just type a drive letter and continue from there.
