"An invalid argument was encountered." when extending toolbar

[msmelo]

Hi,

I was trying to extend the view-edit-toolbar so that it included a couple of the macro commands, but when I do I get an infinite "An invalid argument was encountered." dialog when launching HippoEdit (need to kill it with the Task Manager).

I just added

   MyToolbar.AddButton(null);
   MyToolbar.AddButton(FindCommand("Macros.Record"));

before the closing bracket "}"

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hi Miguel,

you did all correct. This is a bug in my side. Happens in some command handlers. The fix will be available in next 1.60 build (end of next week).

Thanks for reporting and continue to use scripting

BR, Alex.

Just the info: the bug is fixed (hope so) in released 1.60.37 build.

Great to hear!

Since (from your other thread reply) I need to use version 2.x (due to the 200% DPI), when will this fix be ported to that branch? Actually, more generally speaking, do you port all the fixes to 2.x at the same time you release then in 1.x, Alex?

Many Thanks!

Usually, I develop in 2.0 and port urgent bug fixes into correction branch (1.6X). So, in most cases, all bug fixes for 1.6 is in 2.0 (if a bug fix is till relevant for it).
But you need to take into account, that 2.0:
- is in alpha stage, so, not intended for production usage. It may be stable in some scenarios, but crash in others
- alpha is updated much rarer, as the stable branch, while state, when I think it can be used more or less safely, is not often achievable

The limited DPI support for 1.60 is a restriction of this version, which is developed in 2.0.
It is your decision what to use, stable 1.60, without full DPI support or alpha 2.0 with DPI support but with a higher probability of crashes and more rare update cycles. From another side, any significant feature request can be implemented only in 2.0.

I have updated 2.0 version (for x64 only, for x86 does not work yet) today and it shall contain the fix you requested. For download, use the link from the registered section.

BR, Alex.

Thanks! I've downloaded version 2 and installed it but, as you said, there are still things there that need fixing. For example, I can't seem to be able to drag and drop a document to it to open, which is a pattern I use a lot...

What is the official channel to report 2.xx bugs, seeing as that version is not yet open to the general public?

(As a side note, I am having trouble choosing between 1.6 that works well, but I can't see a thing in the toolbar, and 2.0 that is still a bit too "green" and doesn't get updated as often...)

Cheers,

Miguel

Hi Miguel,

I think you have tried to drop files from explorer running in user privileges into HippoEDIT running with Administrator privileges (because you have started from the installer, running as Administrator).
Just start HE normally, from Start menu and retry. It shall work. At least works for me.

You can report bugs for 2.0 as usual, by mail or on the forum, in the corresponding board for registered users. The bugs would be fixed, but maybe it would take more time.

BR, Alex.

I don't know if that was the exact scenario, but may very well have been. It's working now! Thanks!
