Hi Richard,

I'm trying to get a view of one card from all my tarot decks at once (~302), but I keep getting an unhandled exception error message, see below. Help!

Hi Gisela,

Sorry it has taken a while to reply. There should not be any limitation to the number of decks in the compare window (but I don't have as many decks as you so I can't completely guarantee that!). I think it more likely that one of the decks is causing the problem. Could you try some sort of process of elimination? e.g I am guess from what you say that you can show a smaller number of decks each time. Can you add decks until you find out what the tipping point is? And then, instead of adding the same deck that made it tip last time, add a different one? That way we would know what sort of problem we are dealing with, whether it is really down to the number of decks.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard,

I just noticed something else about the Compare malfunction. It’s as if the card images are all loaded as far as the program is concerned, because after a moment or two of trancing (i.e., watching the cursor spin its little circle), the black screen turns white with a thin but very bright red X covering the entire page space, (i.e., the amount of scrolled page space that would be taken up by all the images if they were visible) and if I move my cursor over the white box with the thin red X, the file paths of the decks within the Packs folder flash by in the address box at the top of the Comparisons screen, just as what normally happens when you are looking at a range of images and hover the cursor over one or another card image.

Thanx for the troubleshooting suggestions. I think the problem might be with my RAM, but I'm not sure.

I did what you suggested and incrementally Compared more and more Fools, adding them in folder sized jumps until the malfunction appeared. I was successful in viewing 248 Fools from 9 folders, then in the 10th folder I could add one more and all was ok. But adding a second deck from the 10th folder caused the following error box to appear over the white screen with the thin red x. So my limit appears to be 248 decks is okay, 249 decks isn’t. The specific 249th deck doesn’t seem to matter, I tried several to see what the trigger might be.

This “Out of memory” thing, does that mean I need to have more than my currently installed 3 gigs of RAM to get any more images to show?

Error message window with white X in small red circle says:
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately.
Out of memory.

Hi Gisela,

I have checked the code to make absolutely sure that there was nothing hard-coded in their which would create a maximum number of decks, and there isn't. I did however find a couple of places in the generation of the image where I was maybe not recycling the resources used to create it very well, and this might be the cause of the memory problem. So I think for you the problem is occurring at 250 odd decks, but for someone with less RAM it would be occurring with fewer decks. Anyway, I have fixed the code up, so hopefully the next time I bring a version of the program out (probably over the Easter holidays) you will find you can view all your decks.

Cheers,
Richard

Absolutely fabulous, Richard!

Hi Gisela,

Just to say I uploaded that update, it is 8.11.2. I am pretty sure the problem is fixed because I was able to reproduce it myself (using about 250 decks) and now it is working fine for me.

Cheers,
Richard
