WeSay Error after clicking on Input Systems (version 1.6.8.0 on Windows 10)

Hi!

Every time I am trying to click on Input Systems tab WeSay crushes with the following error.
Tried unistalling the 1.6 and installing 1.5, still gives the same error.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Anton,
Sorry about the crashes! I don’t have any idea what could cause it, but to start troubleshooting, could you make an new WeSay project and see if that has the same problem? If not, would you be able to share your project so we could have a look? E.g., is it on language depot? Dropbox would also work.

Hi John,

Thanks for you reply. I have tried to reinstall the latest version again, deleted and created the project from scratch and it worked. Now clicking in Input Systems does not cause any errors. Many thanks to you.

Cheers,
Anton

Hi again,

The problem came back, as soon as I started changing settings under the Input Systems tab.
As you have suggested, I have tried creating a new project under a different name. The same error occures every time I am attempting to iclick on the Input Systems tab.

Please let me know what lese can I try, since re-uninstalling WeSay every time is clearly not a solution.

Thanking you in advance,
Anton

Hi Anton,

OK, good. That just about confirms that you are making some change to the “input systems” such that, when the tool tries to read it back in, it dies. Please find your “Writing Systems” folder in that project, and email it to issues@wesay.org, along with the error stack that you put in this thread.

Regards
jh
