My 10 MB size project saved In MacOS Xojo2025r2.1 hangs up loading at 97% Progrss WindowsXojo2025r2.1 & also happens version back to Xojo2025r1. The xojo main window usually opens before the load progress bar dialog. I tried removing all the graphics thinking that might be the issue of graphic location pointers. I even tried saving it in XML too and it has the same issue. I finally have to force quit Xojo in the task manager, It’s works fine Visa Versa Win open in Mac. I was wanting to move some of my MacOX project work into my Windows Project..Is this a bug to report?

Did you try on Wndows setting a breakpoint somewhere and continuing step by step to identify which line upset the app ?

3

How does a breakpoint help if the project can’t be loaded?

4

And you are loading from local SSD, not network share, right? Also tried text format? You could split the project on macos into smaller pieces and try them.

5

So you are opening the project by double clicking the project?
What if you open Xojo fully first, then open the project?
May make no difference, but…

Hi Jeff - No I’m Launching Xojo then Select the Project File. I was working with ChatGPT AI. It suggest going to an older version of Xojo2022r4 and Then try launching the Project. It still has the same problem there.

Hi Thomas - I’m transferring it over with a USB Thumb Drive. I haven’t tried Text Format just Binary & XML.Are talking about Xojo Save As Format Project?

Yes, usually projects in text format open faster, too (on macOS for sure).

And now it is on a SSD ?
(unclear to me)

Hum, a breakpoint can’t help :confounded_face:.

I wonder if a switch can be used to start xojo that would put the IDE in some kind of debug mode that would log what is going on when loading a project ? I recall there is some way to remote control Xojo, that may help by giving clues.

Nasty situation.

Starting Xojo from the command line will print stuff to stdout on macOS and Linux. I am unfamiliar with if / how to do this on Windows.

Sorry Thomas - I wasn’t clear what your asking. When you said Network share it threw me off. Is my Windows Computer that I’m trying to load the Project in Xojo on a Solid State Drive? Yes it’s an M.2 2TB Solid State Hard Drive. If it may have something to do with that. Also my MacOS is a MacMini with a Seagate Laptop Mechanical 2TB Disk Drive.
