Application crashing after the recent upgrade
After the recent upgrade of QuiteRSS, it has been crashing (a few seconds after launch) with the following message on my Windows 7 64-bit system. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: QuiteRSS.exe
Application Version: 0.15.3.3240
Application Timestamp: 5340d2ec
Fault Module Name: qcncodecs4.dll
Fault Module Version: 4.8.5.0
Fault Module Timestamp: 51cccfe8
Exception Code: c0000096
Exception Offset: 00014009
Lost Feeds?
I'm not sure, but the upgrade may have wiped my feeds. I just noticed that I haven't seen the notifications in a while and found that the feeds have all been deleted. I am not sure if it was the upgrade or a crash that deleted it.
UPDATE: I have a backup copy that should be the previous release (backup on April 1st). I'll revert to the backed version then re-update to see if that caused the wipe.
Not the upgrade...
I retrieved the backup copy and performed an update and it retained the feeds from the older version. It must have deleted them on a crash.
However, I have not experienced a crash upon launching the program.
EDIT: A day after re-importing my feeds, they have once again deleted themselves. I wonder if the launcher/exiting "Saving Data" dialogue is taking longer than usual to end and the feeds get wiped on system shutdown.
I close all programs and usually wait about a minute before shutting down, but maybe QuiteRSS is hanging a bit and loses the feeds.
I will investigate more, and if necessary post a bug report to the QuiteRSS Google Code page.I have found that the program is not saving the feeds on close, without even shutting down the computer. I tried it several times and each open/reopen the feeds are deleted.

...don't know!
Unfortunately, QuiteRSS (downloaded from portableapps.com) hasn't worked for me on 2 different laptops now. In both instances, it would start updating my feeds and about 60% of the way the application crashes. On laptop 1 it was an upgrade, on laptop 2 it was a fresh install (imported feeds opml on 2 ...have ~180 feeds in 27 folders).
Gave up eventually - installed the portable version from quiterss' website (quiterss.org/en/download) and it works for me on both my laptops. Just wanted to let you (and anyone else in the same boat) know. It could very well be limited to my laptops - I just don't know what or why though.
