GTG crashes, does not start

[Zickzackzuck]

I tried to start gtg today, but it crashes and does not start.

Re-install does not change anything. Changing the project.xml in ~/.local/share/gtg does not change anything.

Debug-Modus gives this

Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.
Traceback (most recent call last):

This command make it work again:

mv ~/.config/gtg/gtg.conf ~/.config/gtg/gtg.conf.bak

@Zickzackzuck,

This bug and bug #1218093 both arise from same source - Wrong parsing of tag and task paths leading to malformed tuples being saved and read from '~/.config/gtg/gtg.conf'

This is why Re-install and changing the project.xml in ~/.local/share/gtg did not change anything.
Because your backup conf file did not contain such errors, replacing gtg.conf with it made it work again.
