Hey there you guys!
How are you doing today? I hope you are fine and well!
If you are using RSSOWL as much as I am then you will find this really really useful.
It works smooth most of the time. But when it crashes. It crashes big!
I tried everything I could think of to make it work again:
Like installing / Un-installing different Java machines
Uninstalling the program. Clean reinstall
restarting many times. But nothing of that worked!
How to make it work again. Well. We have to understand the problem first. This problem happens with a power failure. The power failure courrpts the configuration file of RSSowl. Resulting the error message: “java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException” whenever clicking on a post or a feed!
The steps to fix it are:
navigate to: C:/users/”username”/.rssowl/
Delete the backup.opml
Copy the backup_weekly.opml
Paste it in the same folder, you will have backup_weekly.opml(2)
Rename it to backup.opml
When you open the program again. the problem is gone! I hope you liked this post and found it useful! Did this problem ever happen to you? How often does it happen?
