Arduino IDE bricks at file save as and file open
Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2018 6:02 amHey guys, I'm new to this Forum and have an installation problem which seemingly is not yet covered here.
After installing ESP8266 ver 2.4.1 using http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/packa ... index.json under Windows 8.1, my Arduino IDE (1.8.5) hangs (freezes) whenever I call save as to save a new sketch or file open to open some existing sketch. In order to continue the session at least I can kill the Java save as task in the taskmanager.
I tried to reinstall the IDE, but this didn't help.
Since file save is possible some workaround seems to be to manually create a project folder and an ino file and open the IDE using a double click on the ino file. It is possible to compile the project then, and to save changes ...
1. Anyone else having this problem?
2. Haven't found a way to uninstall ESP8266 yet? Is there one?
Thanks for any hints.
