I was running v1.7 just dandy (love it!) and thought I’d upgrade to v1.9.
However, the announcement email I got did not have the 32 bit Windows option, so I got the free download from the mydeveloper site for Win32 and installed it.
No matter what I do, I can’t get a project to open. The RUN>RUN and RUN>SET menu entries are not active.
I looked through various forum topics that seem to be related but no luck.
V1.7 still works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Seems the installer got corrupted somehow. We uploaded a new one and it should fix the problem.

Sorry but do you mean “open” as in file->open or open as in start the simulator? You may want to check if the path to the simulator is correct via tools->options -> glider options

Sorry I was not clear: I meant that the FILE>OPEN PROJECT does not activate the project. The source code for the project does not appear, and using FILE>OPEN FILE brings up, say, a main.lua for edit, but do attached to any project, so it won’t run.
I also tried to use FILE>NEW PROJECT to remake the project, but that did not work either.
I will try a new download this morning and see if that fixes the problem. I will use the ‘free trial’ Win32 download.
Thanks!
Thanks for your help. The latest WIN32 download from http://www.mydevelopersgames.com/CIDER/index.html installed and worked properly. Problem resolved.
Well, I spoke too soon. After working for a few hours, I rebooted my machine and tried to run v1.9 again, but it is back to the same old trick: FILE>OPEN PROJECT will not open the project… or any project.
Hello cosmic,
Please send us the logs via help-> upload logs. This will help us fix the problem. Also, have you tried dragging and dropping the folder into the editor view? Please see the screenshot:

it could just be that it does not open via the file menu. Even if it does work please send the logs anyway so we can fix that issue.

No luck on the drag/drop… the folder shows a circle with a line through it when the drag image is over the project area.
If I try to drag a project folder (or even a main.lua file) into the editor view, it pretends to like it (shows the ‘plus’ drag image), but after showing the hour glass for a few seconds, it does nothing.
I uploaded the logs as requested.
Thanks!
Hello Cosmic,
Thanks for the logs. I think we have fixed the issue, will let you know when there is an update available. The problem was that the database engine for some reason could not write to the user directory. Perhaps due to some permissions problem? In any case we are turning it off by default in the next update and we suggest to enable it only if an out of memory error occurs (maybe after 1000+ lua files scanned.)

Thanks… I look forward to the update. V1.9 was really, really great for the couple of hours I got to use it!
For a temporary measure you can delete the scanner database via help->user directory-> delete scanner database folder.

Thanks for the tip… I am using v1.9 with a deleted scanner database. What is the consequence of that?
Please get the update via help->check for updates. 1.9.08 will fix this issue.

It will just clear the autocomplete database. There is no consequence as it will be recreated when Glider starts up again. We ended up optimizing the storage mechanism so much for the database that now the entire database can easily fit into memory. The only caveat for this is you might run out of memory for huge projects (1000+ files) and for those cases you need to re-enable the disk-based database. But for 99.9% of cases a fully RAM based storage is just fine and is much faster too.
