Bug report

Info

  • Platform: Microsoft Windows
  • Platform version: Windows 10 Enterprise v1809
  • App Version: 5.1.1

Reproduce

Open InkDrop and select File / Settings.
Then click Sync in the list on the left of the dialog.
This raises the following error, every time I do this:

Error: Could not call remote method 'getSync'. Check that the method signature is correct. Underlying error: The synchronizer not loaded
Underlying stack: Error: The synchronizer not loaded

After a system restart, this is no longer happening. Nothing else was changed (e.g. plugins).

I’ll update this issue again if the error behaviour returns, but for now I think this should not be treated as a confirmed bug.

Hi Roger,

Thank you for reporting it.
Yeah, that’s strange and could be a bug.
Looks like the sync module failed to initialize for some reason like a filesystem error.
Please let me know if you found anything on how to reproduce it!
