?Hi,
I've upgraded my version of IDL to 8.2.3 a couple of weeks ago and I'm experiencing many random crashes. The IDLDE on windows 7 (x64) just quits during aspecific tasks. It mostly happens when I try to copy paste some code into the comand line. It doesn't give any errors or warnings; it just quits. I didn't experience this problem with IDL 8.2.2 or earlier versions. I can imagine that, given this information, it may be hard for you to figure out the problem, so if there's any further info I can give you, please let me know.
Cheers,
Wouter Schellekens

I've run IDL 8.2.3 on Windows 7/64-bit for a long time and never experienced any problems with it. I have seen an occasional crash from IDL, but this is almost always related to object programming. I've never had a problem with the Workbench.

Hi Wouter,
Try renaming the following two folders. IDL will re-create it when you start it again:
1- The hidden folder called ".idl" that is located in your home directory. Rename it to something else, like _idl
2- The IDLWorkspace82. Now, here you have to be careful, because inside this folder you will probably have your own code. Simply, rename it to something else, like IDLWorkspace82_back. Then, after restarting IDL, if everything works, you can re-import your projects into the newly created IDLWorkspace82 folder.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Fernando

Hi Fernando,
That just may have solved it! Thanks! It's been a couple of days and so far, so good...

Excellent to hear.
Yes, sometimes those hidden configuration folders get corrupted and then the IDL Workbench, which is a Eclipse/Java application, crashes.
Anyway, hopefully this was the whole issue.
Cheers,
fernando
