I have installed the new version from the spin tool IDE 0.56.0. I use it sinds the version 0.49.1. Before that i had problems with download to the propeller. But sinds 0.49.1, I have no problems. I love it very much! now it is my program! Great work. After some changes in the configuration, and reboot my laptop, the software will not run. I get the message: An unexpected erro has occured, the details are org.eclipse.jface.resource.DataFormatException: Null doesn't represent a valid font data
at org.eclipse.jface.resource.StringConverter.asFontData(StringConverter.java:265)

I have delete this version, and again installed, but get the same result. What must I delete, to get result.
Even the original Propeller tool I can't install. Please advise

    Ouch... I did a little mistake in the console font settings... looks like you changed the console font (the window that display the debug messages or external programs output) but the code gets the terminal font which is the default null value.

    The only way to fix is to delete the configuration file that is located in the user's home directory (C:/Users/yourname or /home/yourname) and is named .spin-tools (not the dot at the beginning of the name). You can make a backup copy if you want, just make sure you have closed all Spin Tools windows before deleting the file (just in case there are some windows left open for some reasons).

    I'll fix it in the next release, but in the meantime, please don't change the console font.

    Thank you for the quick respons. Yes i was changing the console font... The installation was successful. The only think i notice now, is that in the FIle browser, the root/filepad is missing, is that perhaps a setting? I see only the "v" and folder picture. I expected C:\folder or D:\folder

    Hmmm... yes, seems it is missing the C: root label, however the folder should be expandable and show the user name as a sub-tree, etc.
    Will look at it.
