Blank window

[TotalYuke]

I was using version 1.5.3 fine before upgrading to the latest version due to the DeepL connection issue.

When I open the program with 1.8.0 the translation window opens (the one with a pink checkered border) but there is no message saying it's connecting to deepl like it used to and none of the shortcuts work. I tried other versions but they are not working either.

Any idea how I can fix this? I am on Windows 10.

You could try this:
https://github.com/marisukukise/japReader#i-cant-press-a-button--something-doesnt-work

In short:

1. Backup your %APPDATA%/japreader/config/ folder (it has your seen, known etc. word data)
2. Delete entire %APPDATA%/japreader/ folder
3. Launch the japReader again and if it works try putting the backed up %APPDATA%/japreader/config folder

Sadly sometimes some cache data from previous versions makes it bug out, but I can't reproduce it consistently

Let me know if this has worked for you

Thanks, it's working now.

Also I found a potential culprit (windows_settings.json not updating the version of the app in the preload path) so I'll work on fixing it
Edit: keeping this open until I fix it
