What is v4.0.0-LLAMA ???

That's nothing we released, please understand that we can't give support or track down errors on personally modified versions. Please check if the same error happens in the latest official release v4.1.0, otherwise that error information incl. the error line number is worth null and void to us.

I modified \internal\version.txt because all it was 'UNKNOWN' so I thought it could be safely changed.

Would that cause an IDE error?

Well certainly not, but the fact that it was "UNKNOWN" before shows that you build your version from a random repository snapshot between v4.0.0 and v4.1.0 and not using the release version, so finally we stay at the same point. As long as we don't know the exact point in the history the error information is worthless, as it might have changed several times from your random repository snapshot until the final release v4.1.0.

And btw. I've tested it with v4.1.0 and I just get the same error as Steve regarding a wrong function argument, but I get no IDE error, the file loads just fine here.

Ok, to try a shot into the blue, you may try to delete everything in the "settings" folder except "config.ini".

Loading a file usually involves checking for saved bookmarks and/or autosaved undo states. If one of those files in the "settings" folder got corrupted for some reason it could likely cause an IDE error.

Ok, thanks. I deleted *.bin from \settings\

Interesting because Undo.bin was 500MB filesize...

I renamed the text in version.txt back to 'UNKNOWN' and deleted *.bin and everything seems fine now.

I got the same error and have corrected it!
