説明

Hello,

From time to time Synctrayzor (1.1.21) fails to start. This happens on two different Windows 10 laptops, maybe every month or two. A dialog box appears with the message:

Failed to parse the configuration file at C:\Users\Márcio\AppData\Roaming\SyncTrayzor\config.xml '.', hexadecimal value 0x00 is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1. _(Translated from Portuguese)

Looking at config.xml I can see that all characters have been replaced, somehow, by the null character.

I don't care about going to %appdata% and deleting the file, but other people here have trouble with this. I have found a similar issue https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor/issues/120 but it is closed.

Thank you for SyncTrayzor.

Greetings, Márcio Moreira

調査方針
Investigate the root cause of config.xml file corruption where all characters are replaced by null bytes. This likely occurs during file writing; examine the code in SyncTrayzor that writes to config.xml, possibly in the configuration serialization logic. Look for race conditions or improper file flushing, especially considering the issue is intermittent. Review linked issue #120 for context. A potential fix could involve adding file integrity checks or using atomic writes.
