RW Error

Post by negru13 »

Hello Mike,
I've been getting this error every time i click a name tag in a proxyxml file.
For numeric values it's no problem, but the name fields are crashing the software.
What do I have to do to solve this?

I have checked this, and for some reason it only fails when displaying .xml or .proxyxml files, yet when displaying .bin files this option works correctly, i.e. it correctly displays any strings in the .bin files.

I don't understand why this happens as the .bin files are converted to .xml before appearing in the editor in any case.

Unfortunately I did not write the code for displaying files in the .xml editor and no longer have contact with the person who did write it many years ago :-( And as no one else has reported this problem after this feature has been in the program for about 5 years, I assume it is not much used.

I will see if I can fix this, but maybe beyond my abilities.

Further to my earlier post, I have now checked these audio files and have found that if you open the .proxybin file rather than the .proxyxml version of the file, then it will correctly display in the RW_Tools .xml display.

I realise that the .proxybin files are not actually used by TS2016 but if you are only wanting to view the contents of the file then the .proxybin version should suffice.

Hi Mike, the routine might be failing, if serz is automatically being called without a file type check being made, it would then be converting the xml file to a bin first rather than leaving it as xml before displaying it.

Hi Mark,

The problem is with the .proxyxml files in the Audio folders. Serz is not used to read these at all as they are just plain .xml files, however their format is NOT the same as the .xml files produced when .bin or .proxybin files are opened with Serz.exe

For some reason the .xml display in RW_Tools editor screen works fine with .xml files produced by Serz.exe, it is the plain vanilla .xml files it can't display in the .xml viewer.
