Crash when My Documents on Network Drive [FIXED]

Hi all,

After upgrading to 9.5 I’m disappointed this is still an issue. I believe the problem was introduced at some point in Wavelab 8.5’s lifecycle: on a Windows machine, if you have your My Documents save location set up to a network location, Wavelab crashes upon startup.

I’ve gotten around this by running Wavelab under a different account, but it’s a bit annoying that this problem has existed for years now with something that should be basic Windows functionality.

If any logs are needed, let me know, but I believe this is a known issue… If there are any other workarounds that let me retain my network save location, please let me know.

Thanks!

It is not just Wavelab. Lot of other programs do not like reading and writing to Network storage on a PC. FWIW

if you have your My Documents save location set up to a network location, Wavelab crashes upon startup.

I don’t crash when doing this. There must be another explanation.
Please activate the WaveLab crash log and send it to me.

Thanks for the quick reply Philippe. I typically have to leave Wavelab running for a very long time (I usually walk away from it and lose track of time) before the “Open” screen finally appears and it crashes.

I did not wait that long, but I ran the tracer and got thousands and thousands of these lines before I finally force closed the EXE:

4A3C: [ 836.845 / 19004 W Log.Paths] filterAcceptsRow recursion
4A3C: [ 836.885 / 19004 W Log.Paths] filterAcceptsRow recursion
4A3C: [ 836.946 / 19004 W Log.Paths] filterAcceptsRow recursion
4A3C: [ 836.987 / 19004 W Log.Paths] filterAcceptsRow recursion

Hope this tells you something… let me know if there is anything else I can send your way.

Thanks. I might have found something. Please try again with the next minor version.

Looks like this is fixed with 9.5.15, thank you Philippe!

Thanks for the confirmation.
