Valentina and Base 64 encoding

[Damon Pillinger]

HI Steve,

Glad to see there is another guru here.

It has bothered me for the past few weeks why my app does the same
thing. On windows RB2005r4 Val 2.1 I get Dr Watson at when the program
closes on one app (EDI translation software). It is the app which
creates the printer setting for SAVING as a EncodeBase64 but mine saves
the settings to RB database (not SQLite). The other app which reads the
information (Scan Pack Software) closes fine.

I don't know if it is the same and like you don't know how the two could
be related but I will do some testing this afternoon when I have some
time. I use the Valentina database for other, more demanding, parts of
the software.

Best regards

Hi,

I'm using RB2006 for the Mac and Valentina 2.  My app is standalone, not
using any client/server features.

My app runs fine on the Mac but on Windows, it crashes at
Valentina.Shutdown.  After investigating many things, I discovered that
if I remove DecodeBase64/EncodeBase64 instruction that I use for
retrieving and saving my printer settings to a prefs file,
Valentina.Shutdown works fine.  Also, my app always does a
Valentina.Init and Valentina.Shutdown at the start and quit regardless
of whether a database is opened.  If I start my app and quit without
opening a database, the  Windows app does not crash whether or not it
has the base64 encoding/decoding instructions.

It makes no sense to me that base64 encoding on a string and
Valentina.Shutdown should be related at all, but I was hoping someone
here may be able to point me in some direction toward resolving this. 

If need be, I can live without base64 encoding...

Steve
