Movie Renamer just won't start

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Download .jar and use it (double click it). Works perfect for some days. 
Best program ever.
2. Now it won't start.

I tried to open it with a command line console, and saw the error "Could not 
find main class". I don't really know Java so I'm clueless since it worked just 
fine and stopped working overnight.

I'm using Movie Renamer 1.3.10, Windows 7 64 bits.

I tried reinstalling Java but no luck.

I made a mistake with the last version (1.3.10) which is in java 7 instead of 
java 6.

If you are running java 6 it can be the cause.

You can see what version you are using with :

> java -version
java version "1.6.0_27"

if you've got "1.6....." it's not good , you need "1.7...".
So try to update java or download and install java 7.

If you are already running java 7, copy paste the result of "java -version" 
here.

"Best program ever"
Thanks, but it's more something like "Best demo ever" than a program :)

Thanks, but I have Java 7, see:

java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode, sharing)

I really want it to work again, it's an awesome tool.

Your version is good.
I really don't understand why you've got this error.
Java need an entry point called "Main" which is defined in the Manifest.mf file 
in jar file. (fr.free.movierenamer.Main)

I guess you tried : java -jar "Movie Renamer-1.3.10_Alpha.jar"

Try to dowload Movie Renamer 1.3.8_Alpha and run it. (just to see if it works)

Otherwise you can try this

I don't know this software,i'm a Linux user, but maybe he can solve your issue.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply, but still no luck. 
Maybe this helps? it's what happens when I enter "java -jar 
Movie_Renamer-1.3.10_Alpha.jar":


D:\>java -jar "Movie Renamer-1.3.10_Alpha.jar"

Also, forgot to say I tried the older versions (1.3.5, 1.3.6 and 1.3.8) and got 
the same error.

Ok, i think i see what happen.

Just remove "renamed.xml" file and i think it will works.

renamed.xml is in your user folder, something like this under windows :

C:\Users\YOUr_USER\Movie_Renamer\cache\renamed.xml

No problem.

Your are welcome. This is an old bug.
If you got the same problem in future, now you know what to do ;)

In future release (>= 2.0_Beta) this kind of problem will not exist anymore, 
and the 2.0_Beta will be the first "real" version of Movie Renamer, current 
version is just a "joke".
