Unable to launch executable

[kathyrollo]

@kathyrollo I've added logging to the application

It should spit out a logs.txt file on startup, and any errors should popup there. The link has been updated to the latest build. But here it is as well

Splitting the executable issue here, so as not to hijack the other ticket. Please find attached log file:

logs.txt

From the stacktrace:

An unhandled exception occured.. System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: The invocation of the constructor on type 'PSXPackagerGUI.MainWindow' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception.
 ---> System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'D:\Play\PSXPackager\PSXPackagerGUI\bin\Debug\net8.0-windows\win-x64\Templates\PIC0.png'.

Open Templates > PIC0.xml by Note (I use Notepad++)
Edit 3 lines:

<SourceUri>D:\Play\PSXPackager\PSXPackagerGUI\bin\Debug\net8.0-windows\win-x64\Templates\PIC0.png</SourceUri>
Change to:
<SourceUri>PIC0.png</SourceUri>

Change to:

Or just download it and put to Templates folder (it should be in same folder with PSXPackagerGUI.exe

PIC0.xml

[RupertAvery]

The paths are hardcoded, I'll fix it

[den1703]

Anyway I met 3 bugs also.
Already fixed Single mode

But Batch mode still has bugs. It's stuck on "Queued" and "Stop" button doesn't work.
Also this process infinitive and generate very Huge pbp file (100+ GB) until you close program

[RupertAvery]

@den1703 Can you create an Issue for Batch mode?

Thanks

@kathyrollo

Here is the fixed build

https://github.com/RupertAvery/PSXPackager/actions/runs/22267346240/artifacts/5604132029

The application should now raise an error whenever a resource or template load fails (or partially fails). If an image layer in a template cannot be loaded, the specific image layer will be skipped and the error will be noted in the message.

I will try to make commit
Because last working commit for me is 2bd98f3

Hey @RupertAvery ,

The fixed build is now launching again like normal. Thanks!

While we're at optimising the executable, do you think you can make it completely portable? And by that I mean the config file:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\PSXPackagerUI\config.json

To be generated in the same (relative) dir where PSXPackagerGUI.exe is? This also makes it easier to clean up and assures the user there aren't any other residual files living somewhere else.

Hi @RupertAvery ,

Closing this as the main issue is already addressed. #86 is now a separate ticket. Cheers!
