SharpCap Forums

Hi,

When attempting to capture dark frames, SharpCap crashes and throws up a System.ArgumentException error (Illegal characters in path/Error ID #19381 - see attached screen capture). All other functions (still and video capture/live view/live stacking etc) work without a problem.

I have tried running versions 3.0 and the latest 3.1.5143.0 on two different compters (Microsoft Surface Pro/Lenovo T510, both running Windows 10) using a ZWO ASI220mc-s camera.

I have uploaded the error report.

Any assistance would be grateful appreciated.

What is the path you are trying to write to?

Have a look at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247 for reserved characters and names.

The original darks get written to the temp folder which should be OK (you can see that - just - in the title bar and I can't see any bad characters). The master dark gets written to the dark library according to the file nameing setup, which may be part of the cause of the problem.

Did you press the 'Send and Quit' button to send the bug report - if not please retry and press the button (I looked and couldn't see an uploaded bug report that matches this issue). Once I have the bug report I should be able to see what is wrong much more easily.

thanks,

Robin
