Closed issue due to being outdated plugin version

I have figured out how to replicate the crashing issue, though it will no longer constantly crash on startup possibly due to updated plugin version

Go to ChannelTabs drop-down menu (Top right)
Hover over Appearance tab

Another way that it can be caused is by adding a channel to favorites

Right-click channel you would like to add to favorites
Hover over ChannelTabs menu
Click on "Save Channel as Bookmark"

I just downloaded the updated plugin from this repository, and my discord is still crashing on startup with the same as this person was getting..

Feb 14 '23 02:02 jacobh12349

Same, getting crashes on startup since yesterday. Discord update?

Typing Indicators (Show Typing) on all the badge visibility settings crashes discord solution for the time being is disable the show typing in the settings on all of the badge visibility sub options. Open the config file for the plugin and change all the TypingBadge from true to false.

Feb 14 '23 07:02 skarndev

Where is located the config file ? What is the name of the file ?

Feb 14 '23 11:02 iokza

@Skorflex AppData\Roaming\BetterDiscord\plugins

Feb 14 '23 11:02 mickeygeecom

What should I change? I don't understand ..

Feb 14 '23 11:02 iokza

@Skorflex If you don't know how to edit config/json files, you're properly better off by just running BetterDiscord setup again, and use the repair option - and dont use ChannelTabs plugin untill it's been updated.

EDIT; Also I couldn't make the method above to resolve the issue, so I'm also awaiting a fix.

😢😿

Feb 14 '23 11:02 iokza

Thanks its worked

Feb 14 '23 12:02 iokza

Legend! Thank you so much

This solution doesn't seem to work for me. It is only these lines that should be set to false right?

Feb 19 '23 16:02 heldheld

Are you editing the config file that has your userid?

Feb 19 '23 18:02 ghost

I see! I was editing the wrong file. It's working now, thanks!

Feb 19 '23 20:02 heldheld

I cant even click the edit plugin button as i uninstalled the plugin, the moment i install it discord crashes, i then need to reinstall BetterDiscord from a fresh installation

Feb 21 '23 14:02 dharma24

Can you repair BetterDiscord after discord crashes making it disabled on startup? If not then while Discord crashes on startup you should still be able to navigate to the config folder in AppData and modify the file without having to open Discord at all.

I have repaired Better Discord, Removed it and reinstalled, still the same problem occurs. Which file to i need to alter

Feb 22 '23 00:02 dharma24

Go to your plugin folder, %appdata%/betterdiscord/plugins and edit the channel tabs config that has your username, and set the ones with Typing to false.

Feb 22 '23 00:02 ghost

The only files i see are ChannelTabs.config.json and ChannelTabs.plugin.js

config file shows this:

{
    "currentVersionInfo": {
        "version": "2.6.6",
        "hasShownChangelog": true
    }
}

Thanks, this helps alot

Feb 22 '23 15:02 nintend01337

For me, it was under a file named "ChannelTabs_new_#######.config.json" that contained a settings field with the typing indicator variables. Do you have a similar config file?

Feb 22 '23 17:02 Wolverine327

yo thanks for this!
