Mind posting your SyncTrayzor config file? You'll find it at C:\Users\<You>\AppData\Roaming\SyncTrayzor\config.xml. Something in that config file has been corrupted, or something like that.

As a short-term fix you can rename that config file and restart SyncTrayzor (although you will lose SyncTrayzor-specific settings).

Aah bollocks. What country are you in? Specifically, in "Region and Language" (in Control Panel), which language is selected under "Format"?

[dsvf]

"Format" is German (Germany)
System language is English

[canton7]

So a language which uses ';' as its item separator. That fits. I have other German users: I wonder why none of them saw this issue...

Did you copy that config file from another computer? Or change the "Fomat" setting?

[dsvf]

Changing the "Format" is possible. This is a new install of windows 7 (English), the format change to German might have happened after installing SyncTrayzor.

[canton7]

Yeah, that's probably the cause, and would explain it.

Edit the config file, and replace every comma with a semicolon in the <MinPosition>, <MaxPosition>, and <NormalPosition> tags

[dsvf]

Well, it was only a blank file (I was not able to run SyncTrayzor, so could not modify any settings), so I did what you said previously and renamed the old config file.

Everything works now, so thanks for the fast support! Reverting to the "ugly console window" and losing folder watching would have been gravely annoying!

[canton7]

Sweet! I meant edit the config file with a text editor, but letting it be regenerated is fine too.

(Re-opening, as my process is to close issues once a fix has been released)
