Timetable Editor (Contrib) - unable to ZIP timetable - giving access violation error

[thegreatone1980]

The included timetable editor in OpenRails (both stable and testing) is giving access violation error when I try to ZIP the timetable file (along with consists and paths). Happens both when I run as normal user and as administrator. Does anybody else have this issue?

Are you trying to zip the timetable you have open?
If yes, you cannot read a locked file, the timetable file is open for write hence the access violation.

If no, we will wait.

Yes, I was. Thanks for the suggestion. Will try without opening the timetable file.

I use 7zip to unpack and pack Timetable files in the Timetable Editor tools https://www.7-zip.org/

The timetable zip option is disabled when no timetable file is selected. It seems to be enabled only when a timetable file is open. Also there is no option to choose another timetable file to zip.

That's right ,but one has to manually select all the paths and consists used to include in the timetable right? This is extra work.

Hmm... this access violation error is only happening for the particular timetable file I am selecting.

Its not running in OR is it? That will give an access violation.

Its not running in OR is it? That will give an access violation.

Should I launch the executable stand alone instead of from OpenRails menu?

[derekmorton]

You cannot have it running when trying to zip it.

This seems an issue only with one particular timetable file. Others seem to work ok.
