EventGhost Crashes when runing macro

[ijourneaux]

Working with Pako, we created a macro based on Directory watcher and File Monitor that triggeres an event when a specific text string appears in a log file.

I have shown that this works but every so often, I notice that EventGhost is no longer running and I have to restart it. I strongly suspect the macro we created is causing the problem (If I disable the macro Eventghost always runs) but I can't figure out how to debug the application and figure out where the crash is occuring. Once I get that far, I can start putting in debug code to try to figure out what is going on.

Does EventGhost have a log file where the crash might be logged?

If you run EG with the -debug switch it will log extra messages. It will also create a log.txt file with the messages, including ones that aren't shown when the program is shutting down. On Vista/Win7 the file is in "C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Roaming\EventGhost". I forget where it is on XP.

Thanks. I will have to get my head wrapped around the problem again but this should get me the information i need to start debugging.
