On Alt.Binz 0.36.1 (and many previous versions back to 0.33.*), with the Filters I've included below, I've found that the RSS Timer will lock up Alt.Binz if I leave it minimized for a day or so. Afterward, when I restore the window, it shows a completely grey area where the RSS listing should be, and in this time none of the filters will act and start a download.
If I remove all my filters, the program runs correctly, and the RSS feed is refreshed for days on end without issue, so I'm fairly sure the issue is related to my use of filters.
I didn't find anything like this in my searches, but it is possible I missed it. (If so just direct me to the fix/workaround.
)
I'm running Windows 7 / Windows Firewall.
I haven't seen this issue while leaving the program open and in the foreground, but that could just be a side-effect of me not leaving Alt.Binz open and in the foreground for long enough.
The following is my list of Filters. The ...s hide possible personal information, but the gist is correct. If it makes any difference, the string the ... represents is 32 characters long.
[removed - plz be sensible]This log shows that after the 1:16:53 AM update, this RSS stopped trying to refresh, even though the timer was set to 20 minutes.
