Re: Still getting Unhandled Exception error when Windows 10 updates in new Dell desktop even with portable version
Hey there - Can you post a screenshot of the error you're getting (including any/as much detail as it'll show)? As before, I really can't say why this is happening, but if I can see some more technical details that might help. Thanks, Bruce
It lasted through one update, I think, so I thought using the portable instead of the main one would work finally. It has not, and with the last update I had, it went back to disabling the program with an "unhandled exception" warning "again." I don't know what to do except keep reinstalling each time Windows 10 updates, but it is getting annoying. I even changed the name of the folder it was in, in case "putting it somewhere else" would help, but that? was a bit superfluous. I don't know why it keeps attacking it, or what is. I want to use the program on this new desktop, it is where all my custom tables are stored.?

Editing Central Casting table for later versions
So, I ended up shifting computers a while ago, and just reinstalled TableSmith tonight.? Sadly, the table I was looking to use appears to be rife with errors with the updated version.
Does anyone have updated tables for Central Casting: Heroes of Legend.? Or any of the other Central Casting books, for that matter?

Yes please. I'll like to see more of that sort of thing put up in the
files section.
It sometimes seems to me that this list is over-focused on the logic &
programming aspects of Tablesmith tables, at the expense of sharing
useful (or potentially useful) table content.

Subject: [TableSmith] Name table resources?
Can anyone point me at resources for creating name tables? There are the Tablesmith reference tables, but when I search elsewhere on the web what I find is mostly random-name websites with "We will generate a short list of names for you, but our method is a secret sauce and we won't let you see it."

Re: Name table resources?
The reference tables that generate a name from random letter sets are not what I'm looking for - because I already *have* them. I'm looking for additional ones "not included in the full download" and not on the groups.io site.
And yes, the *logic* of those tables is easy to manipulate; what I'm having trouble with and would like help or resource-pointers for is the *content* I'm looking for new lists of syllables or random letter sets along with advice for making your own.

Re: Name table resources?
I tend to get them from PDFs or the occasional physical book I buy. The latter means re-typing everything in, the former may allow for some copy-and-paste.
There are some older name generators out there that store name data in text files, though none of the program?names come to mind (and most are from the old DOS/Windows 3.1 days, so they may be difficult to find today). Some of the on-line ones may be storing all their data in Javascript, so if you can look at the site source you might be able to get access to their data.
Note that unless otherwise specified?these sources typically are copyrighted, so if you convert them for Tablesmith you probably aren't clear to use them beyond your personal use.

Re: Trying to install Tablesmith 5.2 on new Dell 3671, at first it worked, now it won't open, reinstall caused it to freeze, fixed by reinstalling, then update caused same problem
I have a copy of the config file that works it's set to read-only, when the config breaks I just delete the broken one copy over the new one and change it's name by removing the "-copy"

Yeah, that top/left thing has been an issue for a long time, and I've never been able to quite figure out the cause (not for lack of trying). If you don't mind the app being maximized every time you run it, you could change "<Maximized>" below to "true"; I believe TS ignores top/left if it sees that is true.
I am having a similiar issue with the config file. I use multiple monitors, and something is updating the config file with unusual setting:  I have to go in and edit the config file to set the Top and Left values to 0 and then things are fine until the next time. Erik
