PrusaControl doesn't start about prusacontrol

[tibor-vavra]

Hi,
attach a log file from PrusaControl. It is placed in C:\Users\{your user name}\prusacontrol.log

[coolcow]

It said:

After deleting `prusacontrol.cfg' it works now (it appeared to be empty).
Maybe the application should ask if it should create a new configuration file (in the case of a corrupted one) instead of just crashing. But hey, its Beta ! :)

Thx for the hint !

I am receiving the same Error message on PrusaControl launch. My error log says

Uninstalled and reinstalled after reboot worked

[Ryans585]

I copied the 'materials_i3_mk2.json' file and renamed it 'materials_i3_mk2mm.json'. it launches just fine now.

[wootner]

[thiaggo]

To everyone who has the same issue: Please report your exact operating system and version, thanks.

[moeskerv]

Win10 PrusaControl 0.9.4_415 beta - but issue seems to be fixed now.

[moeskerv]

It seems that prusa3d/PrusaControl-settings@e53b853 fixed the issue.

[ljcousse]

It seems that prusa3d/PrusaControl-settings@e53b853 fixed the issue.

Indeed, same here!

[schnaggels]

Had the same error also with this version...
The reason was simple.

I did hide these 2 files as I didn't want to see them in my main user folder.
C:\Users{your user name}\prusacontrol.log
C:\Users{your user name}\prusacontrol.cfg

Usually works for other apps but not here, after removing windows hide file flag the startup worked as before...
