When the app crashed, I was just trying to change a few settings and trying it out. Nothing radical.

Have you tried disabling the Explorer module?

Have you tried disabling the Explorer module?

If I turn off the Explorer plugin, FL stops showing results altogether!

@raindropsfromsky Sorry, I'm confused about your issue. Can you please describe it a little bit? Can you start FL or not (crashing before starting)?

[VictoriousRaptor]

Looks like something wrong with your clipboard. @taooceros Is it similar to the clipboard shortcut issue you've fixed before?

@raindropsfromsky Sorry, I'm confused about your issue. Can you please describe it a little bit? Can you start FL or not (crashing before starting)?

This happened only once, while I was tinkering with the plugins and settings.
FL simply disappeared and popped up this error.
I simply copied it and pasted it here.

It is not repeatable.

This error seems to relate to the notification module (and probably the windows version you are using). Could you check typing "reload plugin data" and see whether the error is reproducible?

Could you check typing "reload plugin data" and see whether the error is reproducible?

I tried this, and got a confirmation message. FL works fine after that.

That said, I must also mention that after I got that error message a few days ago, I have been using FL heavily, but never faced any crash. All these days I haven't reloaded the plugin data, and yet FL worked stable.

In other words, the crash seemed to be one-off.

[taooceros]

Yeah it seems like the toast notification is not available in your computer, but flow didn't use that much so it's not gonna affect your daily usage. Could you share which windows version you are using?

I am using Windows 11 Home 64 bit
