The 8.5 designer....

Permalink 05/05/09 08:47, by Dennis van Remortel, Categories: Lotus, Development
.. and myself, we just cant get along.

Error

Error
I need to get trusty old killnotes to get rid of the hanging designer client because it won't shutdown. If there's any feature I really don't like about 8.5, it's got to be the Designer client. It. Just. Doesn't. Work.



Update 07-05-2009:
I've decided to create a PMR anyway. Keep you posted.

Could you please share more details on this like what you doing when you get these errors ? is it always coming ?

By the way, Designer 851 will have all your problems solved :-)

Hi Piyush

This is a new error that I can't reproduce, but it has been coming up over the past couple of days. What I really like is the explanation on the errors "Error".

Can't wait for the 8.5.1 designer.

HI Sean

I know about the NSD -kill, but Killnotes does the job fine for me. I didn't want to create a pmr for this, so I use killnotes.

You should do what the error say and have a look in the error log. The stack trace there will give you some hints to further analyze the problem.

Agreed, error description should be correct & more user friendly.

"An error has occured. See log for more details" is the catch ;-)

If you are able to open a PMR you should (even if you don't want a resolution at this time). That way development can track it.

At a guess a widget is being sent a message when it has already been shut down. Why. Not sure.

This is what I use for killing notes.

>type killnotes.cmd
@echo off
taskkill /F /FI "IMAGENAME eq nsd.exe"
taskkill /F /FI "IMAGENAME eq notes2.exe"
taskkill /F /FI "IMAGENAME eq nlnotes.exe"
taskkill /F /FI "IMAGENAME eq notes.exe"
taskkill /F /FI "IMAGENAME eq ntaskldr.EXE"

Yeah well, I've enabled all client debugging, so if it occurs again I'll see if I can find it. The local log.nsf has no more info, but I'll nsd the client next time too, so maybe I'll be able to find out what's up.

Stick to the admin client, you admin person ;-)

I was running LND 8.5 with the Sametime connect client 8.0. Shutting down Sametime seems to have resolved the issue for me.

Hi Michael,

I'm allready using the embedded client, but thanks for the tip
