Hi, Well, the last potential issue is that the g_utf8_to_utf16() critical log message is the cause. This would imply that there is some non-UTF8 characters in your data file. How it got into your data file is unclear, but alas you might need to track that down.
Can you try to open a backup file? Maybe you can track down when the errant data occurred? -derek green thumb <thumbgr...@hotmail.com> writes: > I'm sure.
