Digital Light & Color

Last time when I worked with PWP (version 8.0.468) I closed it completely empty - no tree, no open images, no loaded scripts.

When I started the PWP today, it was still empty but also the entire window was completely frozen.
Imposible to click anywhere except for that system beeping sound.

I tried to solve the problem by overwriting my last version with the PWP latest version (8.0.476).
But it did not help.
I also should mention that it opens only as a thumbnail down in the Windows task bar and has to be maximized.

I am not sure but it is possible that at that time I closed the PWP "hurriedly and unsystematically" using the upper right X button.
Perhaps it might get something to do with closing a completely empty workspace before it got time to save automatically.

It sounds like your session.state file got corrupted somehow. Try renaming your session.state file (located in the folder: c:\users\<username>\appdata\local\Picture Window Pro\Session State) and then restarting PWP. If that works, close PWP which will create a fresh session.state file. You can preserve the various settings saved in session.state by copying the lines that look something like this:

window_placement 2 -1 -1 -1 -1 273 176 3177 1820 3
browser_window_placement 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 671 2287 2170 3151 1
preview_window_placement 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 775 2253 1846 3051 1
favorites_window_placement 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 740 2655 985 2949 1

from the new session.state file PWP created when it exited to the renamed session.state file and then renaming it back to session.state.

Renaming the Session.state file helped.
New file was created and everything is OK.
Thanks.

If you can send me the old session.state file I can try to figure out what went wrong.

I am sorry but once I got the PWP going I deleted the old file.
But I will try to simulate the problem and if I succeed I will send the file.

No problem.
