Exception Handling

An Exception is some illegal program code/data that causes the program to 'crash' or disappear.
GeoSurvey will now write a 'GeoSurvey.dmp' file when it crashes.

You can set where this file is stored in Program Settings/Advanced/Exception Settings
When GeoSurvey is started again, it checks for a GeoSurvey.dmp file and if found displays the following dialog.

This dialog can create a ZIP file, name format is (YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS - GeoSurvey 8.41 - Exception.zip)
The zip file will contain:

The GeoSurvey.dmp file
The job in use when it crashed
An Info.txt file containing your name, email, problem description etc.

You can email the zip file to Mimaka for analysis of the problem.
This approach should provide a much more precise handle on exactly what line of code caused the crash.
