TC Console, Problem opening layouts
Answer
2/4/13 9:23 AM
Hi. 
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I have a problem opening saved profiles using TC Console 3.3.1. When i open the saved profile, nothing happens. This is really a problem as i used 8 hours programming a layout, and now its all lost.
 
I have attached the file. 
I have tried both the installable version, and the standalone jar file. When running the Jar file i get this:

Hei Vidar!
I only managed to have a quick look at this yesterday, but was able to reproduce your issue. From the looks of it, there seems to be some inconsistency in your layout which TC Console is not able to resolve, and so the file reading thread dies. I'm going to see if there's a way to fixup your layout xml file in order to get it working properly. Secondly we should try to determine what the cause of the issue is, so that we can prevent it from happening in the future.
We'll get back to you!

The layout xml file contains a few corrupted states. I'm not sure how TC Console managed to save the file to this state, or what user actions allow a reproduction of this state. The layout was missing output definitions for the custom layout with 2 and 3 participants, as well as 1 participant with presentation. There was noe layout graphic defined for those scenarios.
 
I've redefined those scenarios with empty output defitions. It should load up properly in TC Console now. There's no way for us to know exactly what those states did actually contain, unfortunately.

Aww.. That's very sad to hear. It is our goal to properly fix issues like these and improve the robustness of the application. This is of course very tough without knowing the steps required to get into the broken state. If you are so unfortunate to encounter similar issues again, please try your best to recall what you did and see if you are able to consistently reproduce the issue(s).

Ok. I have to recreate the layout anyways, so i will check underways to see if i get the same problem, and hopefully the steps to reproduce.

Ok, i do have some problems already, but not the same as last (yet), but i will keep on trying. I did get the problem i had before one time, but was unable to reproduce it a second time, but i will keep on trying to reproduce that. 
I have attached som files, and description for what i did. I was able to reproduce these problems every time i tried:
 
Custom 1. 
- New file
- New family (Custom 1) from full screen
- Modified layout "Local" in Presentation, no participants.  
- Copyed the layout to Local + Selfview and Local + Camera control 
- Tried to delete the frame "Local Input 2" from "Local", and save i get no error message, but the frame is still there when i open the file in a new tc Console
- If i choose to save the file to new file (custom 2) in the new TC Console window, it saves the changes. 
Custom 2:
This is the file from above. 
Custom 3:
-Try to copy "Local + Selfview" to "Local" and save to custom 4, results in error, no message why.
-Tried to delete all content in "Local" and paste from Local + selfview not possible / nothing happens, and unable to save

In regards to the last problem described, i have attached a video showing what the problem is. Sorry about the quality, but i needed to get the filesize as low as possible.
