Recommendation for error capture in Playlist Generator Pro

[metalprof]

So ProgMan and I are on the case trying to figure out why RadioBoss started going wonky at our gerbil-powered station; oddly, my own installation of RB at home went wonky too. The latter was my fault because I forgot that I had moved some files since the last time I ran RB at home, and I only started it up again to try to help diagnose what was going on at the station.

But, in the process of figuring that out, I ran Playlist Generator Pro several times, and it ground to a halt each time at about 50% progress ... it seems that when PGP can't find a file at the supposed location, it puts a line in the log file about that, which is cool. But, eventually PGP slows to a crawl and eventually returns an Out of Memory error, requiring a visit to the Task Manager to shut it off. I'm guessing that it just keeps trying to find music, can't find it, writes an error, repeat. And eventually all the RAM gets used up by the growing and growing log file. If that's the case, would it be a good idea to have PGP stop on its own when a certain number of error messages are generated?

I'm on RB v7.0.8.0.

It only checks for the track existence once, while loading the categories.

There is a certain limit after which it gives up. We'll check again this, just in case. Still, it will not solve the core problem, that is, the playlist will not be generated anyway as there are lots of errors.
