Another crash in 4.0d

NetworkGeek

Looks like it had trouble accessing something on the clipboard

These crashes come from Windows/.NET and are not caught/processed by Logos. I do wish/humbly suggest that Logos wraps their I/O and system calls in try/catch blocks so something a little more elegant can be done with these instead of bombing the user out when something fairly typical inside of Windows happens.

Are you running Logos 4 on a Mac in Parallels or similar program?  See this thread, http://community.logos.com/forums/t/19839.aspx.

Hi Melissa,

No - I am running PC version, 4.0d SR-1, on Windows Server 2008 R2 (server version of Windows 7). Not in a VM, just running natively. I was copying and pasting lemmas doing some syntax searches, then I was copying a screen shot to paste into Paint. I closed paint and went back to Logos when it crashed.

I would agree that there are situations where a crash can and should be avoided. But it's difficult to know how to inform the users so that they may continue eg. "Another application has locked the clipboard please close open applications before retrying the operation"!
