I've had a few crashes when renaming a component. The biggest headache is that not all of the components appear in the library after the crash. Some have disappeared. Running the Re-Index button results in the same situation, crash and Easy-PC shutdown.

Check that Easy-Pc has not saved it elsewhere as It can use the last library accessed.
Do a part find search. It may be elsewhere.

By replacing my company library with a version from a few weeks prior, and restarting Easy-PC, the libraries return. The headaches is that this is happening a lot.

As AndyB has already suggested, most likely system is pointing to incorrect library/folder. Check Settings=>Folders=>Libraries where you can see what libraries are listed and enabled.

You say "replacing" your company library, -but not "overwriting" so I suspect both libraries co-exist on your PC which is why the old libraries "return" as the system is probably not pointing to the company libraries you want.

Hi!

I get this crash on V24.0.5 as well - I made a new library called "Memories" and then made a Schematic Symbol for a Static RAM.

Yesterday evening I modified the Static RAM Svhematic Symbol with the extra 4 pins to make it suitable for 28 pin EPROMS, renaming it as "28 PIN EPROM"

On using the Component Wizard to attempt to create a 2764 EPROM, I mis-keyed an extra character into the Component Name, and when I use the "Change" button next to the fixed Component Name textbox on the Component Properties Dialog (you can't edit the Component text in the Properties Dialog directly!) I get exactly the same crash, Easy PC just closes completely with no error message, and what's worse, this scrash also corrupted a lot of the large circuit diagram I am currently draughting!

This "crashing on component rename" bug was first reported several software versions ago and it is STILL not fixed!

@Chris55000

IF this is a bug on V24, it wouldn't be fixed now as we're presently on V26.

The last two Versions have been remarkably stable with few, if any, "crashes" reported by Users.
