There’s a link to instructions on updating in the post. The process is different depending on how you obtained Aseprite, so a download link wouldn’t make sense.
Hello ! Thanks for this update
I don’t know if I’ve done something wrong updating though, now I have to run the app as Administrator to make it boot up, otherwise it just does nothing. Does anybody have an idea ?
Hi @reitog, actually you’re the second users that contact us about that issue (the need of admin to run Aseprite). It doesn’t look like a general problem of v1.2.17, but at least now we know 2 known cases.
You can try to run with the -debug argument and check what the output says, it creates a .txt file in the desktop. There is a chance of some problem creating a temporary file in the temporary directory of the user to store the cached news (a RSS file).
Yes, you can can execute it with the --debug option from the command line.
If you never used the command line before, you can do the following: Step 1) Click on Windows “Start” Step 2) In the “Search” or “Run” line, type cmd (short for command), and press Enter. You’ll see then something like this:
Step 3) Now you have to navigate to the directory where you have Aseprite installed (probably “C:\Program Files\Aseprite”) using the Command Line. To do that you can type “cd C:\Program Files\Aseprite” on the command line and press enter. You can copy the directory path from the file explorer like this:
And then type on the Command Line “cd” and “right click > paste” the path you previously copied (if the path has spaces, put it between “”). Then push enter. Step 3-B -alternative way-) You can also hold shift and right click on the Aseprite folder, and then choose “Open Command window here” if you use Windows 7 (or this if you use Windows 10) Step 4) Type in the Command line: Aseprite --debug and push enter.
I’m using aseprite with Duet occasionally. But a keyboard is necessary and it doesn’t work smoothly enough , though I don’t know if I should blame my sluggish internet connection, or the fact that I’m using windows, I heard it works better with mac.
Usually, to really work my projects on iPad I end up exporting my layers to png, making a photoshop file, and use pixaki, but it’s too hectic a process.
Hello ! Thank you so much for this answer! I can’t paste what the log says here because of the character limit. How can I do ?
( Sorry I’m not used to forums haha)
Hi @reitlog! is that a successful run with the administrator or an unsuccesful with a regular user? Did the program show the main window and close it automatically?
Hi ! The main issue is that I can’t run it correctly as a regular user: a white blank window appears and the software closes right after every ime I try to start it up. I followed JJHaggar’s method to run the debug, and the log is on my previous entry. I hope I answered properly to your question. Thank you very much
