Persistent and annoying errors

Issue #2174 new
Former user created an issue

I keep getting errors, it takes a LONG time for me to be able to edit a rom's details. like 10 minutes sometimes. sometimes i click the game and the edit and delete button don't "light up" for 5-10 minutes. it used to just do this when I tried to edit neogeo pocket color roms and it has gotten worse in the last few updates (betas and final releases). It makes it so I don't really even want to use launch box which is sad because i am a paid user.

    Hi Erin, it looks like somehow there is a corrupted/invalid folder path specified in the XML for a particular image folder for a particular platform. "Illegal characters in path" means that it's trying to create a folder that's invalid. If you can send me your LaunchBox\Data\Platforms.xml file, I can look to see what might be causing the issue. Send it to jason@unbrokensoftware.com.
