Strange out of the blue crash attack

Frank Sauer

I've been running every beta from day 1 but this is the strangest crash I've seen yet.

I've had no problem installing updates at all. Updated my desktop to the latest beta and ran flawlessly. Then this evening tried to enter Logos on my laptop and would just get crashes every time it was loading a layout.

Entering with the blank layout no problem, then no matter what layout I chose it would crash again. Tried deleting PBB files as it seemed to hang when that section was loading, but no avail. Can't load a layout of any kind, but only on the laptop. Running Win 76763.Logos4.zip

The crash appears to happen when generating a visual filter for a resource you're opening. The underlying problem seems to be that the Library Index has become corrupted (in a way I've never seen before).

If you have "Previous versions" enabled in Windows, you may want to see if you can restore the version of "C:\Users\Frank\AppData\Local\Logos4\Data\2u5fx0th.uk5\LibraryIndex" from yesterday (or the last time you ran before the crash).

If not, you can work around the problem by opening to the blank layout and entering the "rebuild library index" command to force the Library Index to be rebuilt from scratch (which may, of course, take some time).
