Hi *,

perhaps you can help - my 3 mails to the RTM team are not answered.

Porblem:
One day after the (automatic) update of MilkSync for Windows, the application crashes when I try to start it. At the first day it worked fine.

Reason (may be):
In the windows application protocol is a string overflow logged (free translation into english):
Exception: Text must be shorter than 64 chars-
Parametername: Text
The actual value was MilkSync 1.0.11
Last synchronization was reported on: 29.11.2010.
Source: System.Windows.Forms
Stack trace:
bei System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon.set_Text(String value)
bei RTM.Outlook.MilkSync.MilkSync.UpdateNotifyIconText()
bei RTM.Outlook.MilkSync.MilkSync.InitializeNotifyIconMenu()
bei RTM.Outlook.MilkSync.MilkSync..ctor(ILogger logger, ISettings

Therefore the reason seems to be the tool-tip-text for the MilkSync tray symbol in the windows taskbar.

On the first day after installing the update the tool tip contains a German status info like "MilkSync 1.0.11\nLetzte Synchonisation fertig gestellt: 17:48". <- 60 Chars!

On the next day, there is a date added to the string and so, I think, it get's longer than 64 Chars:
MilkSync 1.0.11\nLetzte Synchonisation fertig gestellt: 30.11.2010 17:48" <- 71 Chars!

In the English version, that's no problem, because the status text is even shorter.

My current workarround is
1.) Exit MilkSync
2.) Backup the German ressource files of the "de" folder of MilkSync in a separate folder
3.) Copy the English files of the folder "en" to the "de" folder (overwrite)
4.) Start MilkSyn, do a snyc and exit MilkSync
5.) Copy the "de" Backup files back to the "de" folder
6.) Start MilkSync and be happy - it works again.
... One day :(

Has anyone a better solution?!
