Error loading colors locks up app

[Robert Leach]

I think that the preferences file associated with a specific input file got corrupted. When loading that file in a new instance of treeview, the progress bar got stuck at 99%, said done, but was hung. Copying the input file to a new file got around the issue.

Can we get a copy of the corrupted preferences file or steps to reproduce the corruption?

[Robert Leach]

I only know if is a preferences file from a comment from Chris. I didn't actually see it. Where would the preference file be stored?

[Robert Leach]

I found it. I did a screen-record of the hang, copied the java command line error, copied the prefs file, and copied the input file I used to this folder:

I let the hang continue on yesterday. It was still hung just now, so I quit TreeView.

Colors are loaded from user preferences and if the named ColorSet2 is not found in the preferences, the application will crash with a NullPointerException.

Fixes #8: If a colorset is not found in user preferences, use the default RedGreen colorset to avoid an exception
