Strange, would you help to understand this?

This version is doing some extra logging. Can you install that, activate debug logging and send me the report after the error occured? Since TbSync UI is not running, you need to find the debug.log in your thunderbird profile folder in the TbSync subfolder. Starting Thunderbird after the error to use the UI to get the log, will reset the log...

When does that error occur? During start of StandAloneCardBook, or during shutdown?

[jobisoft]

I also observed something VERY strange. I am on TB 52.9.1 with lightning 5.4.

If I execute StandAloneCardBook, lightning gets upgraded to 6.2, which causes TbSync to fail (because not compatible). The error you report happens on a line during shutdown, where observers are removed. If Tbsync fails to load during startup, those observers are not added. So this looks plausible.

Could you try to disable lightning on your system and try again?

[jobisoft]

uff, I actually do not think we should call this a bug of CardBook at this stage... I am just poking around at the moment... could you close that report until we have understood the nature of this?

[jobisoft]

should be fixed with this version.

Thank you, TbSync 0.7.12.5 fixed this issue.

Does that mean you will make it available to everyone?

Thank you once again.

I was just waiting for your confirmation, will push .5 out later
