    Crash on startup solved

    After installing a bunch of route the consist editor started to crash on start in both v7 & v8
    I narrowed it down to the route ' B&O West End v1' https://www.trainsim.com/forums/file...leid?fid=90136
    and a Activity file that should be deleted after installation.
    'DeleteAfterInstallation.act'

    What's the purpose of including a empty file ?

          The situation is those placeholder files should always be .txt files. This route used empty placeholders with .act, .srv and .trf extensions

              Yep. Empty directories were a challenge once upon a time. Use a txt file and avoid the conflicts.

                  Thanks for posting this, I was trying to track down why it was crashing.
