Flare project with empty Project Analysis

Post by Ken Billing »

I have one or more projects in Flare 4 for which the Project Analysis pane is empty. It simply reads "(no project)". Deleting the project's Analyzer folder causes it to be recreated, but no scanning or analysis results. I do have full Analyzer installed, but the Project Analysis pane of other of my projects works fine and I'm growing to like using it first before employing full Analyzer.

What's tripping up the project analysis?

Thanks,
Ken

I've determined that this is related to full Analyzer's inability to open projects residing in folders that contain an apostrophe. After renaming the "invalid" folder, the analysis in Flare occurs.

This is a really needless bug, MadCappers, and it's preventing me from using software we paid good money for. Yes, "preventing," because the "invalid" folder names are the publications' names, a standard we can't violate for a reason as needless as this and which didn't occur until Analyzer 2 was released. Please fix soon.

Re: "What's tripping up analysis". Good question. I had the same View | Project Analysis pane is blank except for 'No project' problem with 2 out of 10 projects. The cause is uknown.
Problem solved after I deleted the Analyzer folder for the two problem projects and (so far) everything is fine... :analyzer:

Come to think of it, once we know what the cause is, we have the means to turn the auto-analysis off!! :evil:

That's fine, but I don't have any projects with apostrophes. :)
