B4A 2.0 vs Dropbox - problem / bug

[WizardOz]

Hi!

I have used pre-B4A 2.0 and dropbox together for a long time.
B4A is installed in usuall manner, but the files for the project lies inside the Dropbox-folder so they get updated when I code.

But when I installed B4A 2.0 this doesnt work anymore. When I start a project from the dropbox (using "Open Source" or doubleclick the b4a-sourcecode-file) B4A opens the project but a dialog with "An error ocurred. Mappenavnet er ugyldig" witch translated to "The folder is not invalid / illegal".
But the sourcecode gets into the IDE. And you can code, and save your work, but when you try to compile, it stops at the "Generating R file." with the same dialog of error.

Is there anything that can be done? It worked so well in 1.9...

To be clear:
B4A is NOT installed in the dropbox-folder.
Only source-file and the forlders for the projects are in Dropbox-folder.

More Info:
Windows 7 64bit is used.
No admin.problems.
No other changes and updates that I am aware of between the working 1.9 and the not working 2.0.

That's really weird, as as far I can see, the only difference is b4a new version.
I will try reinstall of dropbox, as I have tried reinstalling b4a with no added libs...

This is DropBox

 

[Ricky D]

It looks good. But it's free so what's the catch? Do they advertise?

[WizardOz]

No catch. They get money from people / companies that need more space than the free provides.

There are 2 reasons why I use this with b4a.
1: Automatic backup.
2: I use two computers. One stationary and one "Movable". I mostly program on the stationary, but when I once in a while program in the garden with the "Movable" Dropbax syncronises automaticly with the latest files I have on the stationary.

Nothing that I can think of was changed in v2.0 that should affect this issue.

Actually, using 1.9 again and it works fine.
Back to 2.0 now, and the error comes.

But, I have found the solution. There was a non-legal character in the path-name. B4A 2.0 read all files fine, until it took a dive one level deeper in the path, then it just sprung the error.
I guess 2.0 does something sligtly different, but nothing major.

Thanx for your attention! :sign0098:
