A generic error occurred in GDI+ on export

Hi,

I get this error when selecting Export / Snapshot of graphs menu I have the 1.19.1.0 exe file in my desktop folder and run it from there. Where is it supposed to export the graphs to?

System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException (0x80004005): A generic error occurred in GDI+. at System.Drawing.Image.Save(String filename, ImageCodecInfo encoder, EncoderParameters encoderParams) at PingTracer.MainForm.mi_snapshotGraphs_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.MenuItemData.Execute() at System.Windows.Forms.Command.Invoke() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmCommand(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

Snapshots are supposed to save into the folder where PingTracer.exe resides. However your error message indicates that something is failing during the png writing. It might be a lack of file write permissions somehow. But if you are running it from your windows desktop or a subfolder of the desktop, then there shouldn't be such a permission problem. You could try running PingTracer as admin, and then if the snapshot is able to be saved that is a pretty strong indication that the problem was filesystem permissions.
