Description

A few days ago SyncTrayzor stoped working with this error message on startup (haven't touched any config file): image

Today a had a look an the config.xml: It only contains 2455 \0 chars.

After deleting the config.xml SyncTrayzor is working again and the config.xml contains valid xml again. -> So for me the problem is fixed - this issue is just for letting you know that SyncTrayzor may corrupts it's config file.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the code paths that read and write config.xml. Look for potential race conditions, improper file locking, or handling of file writes. Consider using trace logging to capture write patterns that lead to null bytes.
