Nightly build of 26.01.2010 does not start in Windows XP

[dg333]

I use the portable version of muCommander under Windows XP SP2 Russian / JRE 1.6.0_18-b07. I launch muCommander by double-clicking mucommander.jar. Yesterday, I downloaded the latest nightly build (of 26 January) and as usual replaced the existing mucommander.jar with one from the archive. Now, when I try to launch, I get:

Code: Select all

startup_error

with the following details:

Code: Select all

java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.mucommander.ui.main.LocationHistory.addToHistory(LocationHistory.java:100)
at com.mucommander.ui.main.FolderPanel.setCurrentFolder(FolderPanel.java:659)

at com.mucommander.ui.main.WindowManager.createNewMainFrame(WindowManager.java:305)
at com.mucommander.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:573)


I have tried also the build of 27 January with the same result. However, muCommander 0.8.4 (the latest stable build) starts up without errors.

What may be the problem?

I have admin privileges, so there should be no problem with access rights.

Hi there,

That appears to be a bug introduced in the latest nightly build. Somebody else already filled out a bug report (http://trac.mucommander.com/ticket/337).
We'll be working on fixing this. In the meantime, I'm afraid you have to rollback to the latest stable build.

I'm sorry about the inconvenience, and we'll do our best to fix this in a timely manner.
