Latest nightly causes transmission-remote-gui/dotnet crash

[DaveF1]

I've posted this in the Web Interface forum but it's tucked away in the thread about Opera (http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtop ... 193#p35198). I think it's probably important enough to warrant it own thread.

I first noticed in Svn 8036 that when using Transmission-Remote-Gui or -Dotnet I get access violation or similar when I click on an individual torrent. This has been confirmed by another poster (LdK). This issue still occurs in 8040.

The error message details box in transmission-remote-dotnet v3.6 are:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

EDIT: As I guessed below, it was a pretty trivial change. Please try overwriting your Transmission Remote.exe with this one http://transmission-remote-dotnet.googl ... Remote.exe

Hi Dave,

I'll install the latest svn and have a look into this. Jordan did mention to me that 1.60 will have some RPC changes which will break existing clients. It's probably quite trivial to fix (I'm guessing).

Cheers,
Alan (transmission-remote-dotnet maintainer)

Great, thanks Alan - transmission-remote-dotnet has improved recently and I really like the pieces view of the progress bar in this version...

Thanks, glad you find it useful. I can't take credit for that particular feature, as it was a patch submitted to me by Elbandi. He also wrote the patch to implement it on the transmission side.

In the last few days I added a feature to run a remote SSH command on a torrent file/folder by calling plink (command line PuTTy). Dunno if many others will find this useful, but I sure do. I use it with a small perl script that checks if archives need extracting and runs it if necessary.
