Crash on Update Project (NullReference DotNet Error)

Today I had a crash each time I attempted to update my Lingo project with new and changed files. I am not sure what caused it, but I suspect that it has something to do with my Title topic that is almost entirely variables.

My update would proceed until the "Applying Differences File" stage at which point I would get the oh-so-unhelpful NullReferenceException error. Lingo would then report quantities of new and changed files but not actually apply the changes.

This Lingo project was configured to use a specific Flare target at the project level and I managed to get by with the following work around:
  1. Open the Project Properties.
  2. Select Flare Settings.
  3. Set Filter by Target to All Targets. Note this will cause translation statuses to reset.
  4. Click OK and allow the Lingo Project to Update.
  5. Run Update Project.
  6. Set Filter by Target back to the desired Target. Note this will cause translation statuses to reset.
  7. Click OK and allow the Lingo Project to Update.
Once I did this Update Project worked until I again futzed around with my suspect topic, at which point I had to Shake and Bake again as above.

It looks like I have the same problem. I will check it as my topic title does not have variables. I will try your workaround.
Indeed it is cumbersome but better than being blocked.
