Hi David,

you found a very interesting bug -- in code that wasn't changed for 1.5 years. I will fix it shortly.

I am very interested how it happened. The reason why you can't start GTG is because one of your tags starts with '!'. GTG itself should have prevented that situation. Did you create a tag like that? Maybe a search tag? You can look at your ~/.local/share/gtg/tags.xml

If you don't use our GTG Daily PPA (development version), the workaround is to delete that '!' from the name of your tags.

[David Elliott (davidrelliott)]

Good morning Izidor!

I was using the daily PPA, encountered the bug, purged gtg and liblarch,
then installed the stable ppa. When I still encountered the bug running
the stable, I submitted the report.

I don't have a tag starting with a '!', but I do have a tag that was
created by error containing a '!'. I believe the gtg tag editor changed
syntax from dividing tags using a ',' to dividing using a space. When
attempting to create and delete tags simultaneously I ended up with
'newtag,!tagtoremove' . This was while running the daily. I've
attached my tags.xml file (no sensitive data) if you would like to take
a look.

I deleted the tag containing '!' from tags.xml and the gtg data file and
now it fires up. Whew - what a relief! Thanks for all of the great
development work and for the quick response on this bug. I depend on
gtg every day. I'm going to stick with the stable ppa to avoid losing
the functionality in the future.

Hi David, thank you for your info. If I get it correctly, the steps to reproduce:

1, open "Modify tags" dialog (CTRL+T)
2, enter "@cold,!4week"
3, restart GTG

Is it correct?

[David Elliott (davidrelliott)]

That is my memory of how the bug happened, though I never precede tag
names with '@' when using the "Modify Tags" dialogue. However, I just
tried using the stable ppa and cannot reproduce. Let me know if I can
provide you with any further information.

Dave
