Hi everyone.
I’m getting the following error message whenever I try to launch mfix GUI.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated
Hi Abdelmoumen -
You’ve run across a bug in the code that loads recent projects. This list of recent projects is stored in the mfix.conf file. If you start mfix with the -c flag, the saved configuration will be cleared and you should be able to start mfix. This will unfortunately wipe out other saved settings, but there are not too many of these - it’s mainly window position and recent projects so you don’t lose much when you clear these.
I also see that you are running an older version of MFiX - I suggest you upgrade to 21.1.4 which is the latest version, from 2021.
I am not sure why this problem occurred - perhaps one of your projects does not have a description? I will try to reproduce the problem and fix the root cause. If you have any suggestions for how to reproduce this problem, I’d like to know.

To clear the saved setting: mfix -c.
You can also edit the file ~/.config/MFIX/MFIX.conf on Linux, or use the registry editor to edit the key MFIX\MFIX on Windows machines. This will show exactly what settings are saved in the application preferences.

HiCharles,
It’s working now with : mfix -c .
Many thanks,
Abdelmoumen
