JAVMovieScraper v0.3.7 Crashes on start

When double clicking the .jar file it crashes right away.

Here is the stack trace I see:

same as me ...

This seems to be due to this:-

private MoviescraperPreferences() {

	//initialize default values that must exist in the settings file

}

Quick solution: Download an older version, run it - it will create AmalgamationSettings.json and then you can run the latest version

It's ok! When I put the new .jar file in the path of older jar file, thanks a lot!

}

it means the must exist an older json file, right?

I also have this issue, running the other version worked but not the new one, I can't understand the last few messages, I run the .jar file from a regular downloads folder should i put it somewhere else?

ok I extracted the .jar .exe file over the old version folders, how do I open the software, I usually right click on that jar exe file & open with java using windows 10.

Ok I figured it out after taking a couple weeks off from this. Thanks for helping. My problem was I was using freecommander as my file manager to open the file & then I used windows explorer & it worked.

I still cannot use GUI, getting this error. Can anybody explain which Java version did you install? I downgraded to Java 8, build 111, still no luck. But I'm able to scape using command prompt.

Do we need to download both the source files (files and folders) together with .jar file?

And what .exe did someone mentioned above? Java.exe in "bin" folder of Java installation path?

I able to run by create .bat file.

Create "run.bat" by right click and new file. Select Notepad. Rename the file to "run.bat".

Edit the file and add this line: "java -jar JAVMovieScraper.jar". Save the file and run by double clicking the "run.bat"
