Errors in file generation

[Kurtpenter]

Hi Ian, I'm trying to use your add-in on Xamarin 5.7.2 and 5.8 on Mac OS X 10.9 but it gives me an error.

I added ImageMultiplier 1.3.6 from the Add-in Manager but when the i build the project I get an error and the Tool output contains:

Running generator 'ImageMultiplierGenerator' on file [...omissis...]/android/default.multiplier'...
Creating images for [...]/android/default.multiplier

Running generator 'ImageMultiplierGenerator' on file '[...]/android/default.multiplier'...
Creating images for [...]/android/default.multiplier
Added output specifier { type: 'AndroidIcon', width: 36, color: '#f80c12', path: 'android/Resources/drawable-ldpi/{0}' }
[...]/data/images/logo.svg
   --> PNG is new : [...]/android/Resources/drawable-ldpi/logo.png

Errors in file generation.

In the errors pane I see:
[...]/android/default.multiplier(1,1): Error: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Drawing.GDIPlus (solution-name)

Note the paths and permissions are all correct but the logo.png is not created.

Is there a way to have more information from the tool logs?

Thanks!

You could certainly modify it to display more of the Exception message but the 'type initializer' type of Exception is often hard to get any further information. Any chance you could share the offending SVG and .multiplier file and I'll take a look.

I'm having this issue as well. Running it on a Mac with Yosemite. I haven't been able to get any SVGs to work, whether they came from Google's Material Design repository or ones I made with Illustrator.

Multiplier file:

{ type: "DrIcon32", width: 32, path: "Android/Resources/drawable-mdpi/{0}" }
{ type: "DrIcon32", width: 48, path: "Android/Resources/drawable-hdpi/{0}" }
{ type: "DrIcon32", width: 64, path: "Android/Resources/drawable-xhdpi/{0}" }
{ type: "DrIcon32", width: 96, path: "Android/Resources/drawable-xxhdpi/{0}" }

{ type: "DrIcon40", width: 40, path: "Android/Resources/drawable-mdpi/{0}" }
{ type: "DrIcon40", width: 60, path: "Android/Resources/drawable-hdpi/{0}" }
{ type: "DrIcon40", width: 80, path: "Android/Resources/drawable-xhdpi/{0}" }
{ type: "DrIcon40", width: 120, path: "Android/Resources/drawable-xxhdpi/{0}" }

{ type: "IosIcon32", width: 32, path: "iOS/Resources/{0}" }
{ type: "IosIcon32", width: 64, path: "iOS/Resources/{0}@2x" }

{ type: "IosIcon40", width: 40, path: "iOS/Resources/{0}" }
{ type: "IosIcon40", width: 80, path: "iOS/Resources/{0}@2x" }

{ process: "Icons/*_32.svg", as: ["DrIcon32", "IosIcon32"] }
{ process: "Icons/*_40.svg", as: ["DrIcon40", "IosIcon40"] }

SVG file from Illustrator that failed:

SVG file from Google that failed, both with and without the xml bit at the beginning:

Regardless of anything else, it seems to give the "An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Drawing.GDIPlus" error. I didn't really do anything special in installing ImageMultiplier; just added it from the bog-standard Addin browser.

Thanks for posting the files, I will take a look. I'm traveling at the moment so it will be a few days before I can get to this.

[GeoffArmstrong]

Thanks for any insight you can provide. I like the idea of ImageMultiplier. :)

[GeoffArmstrong]

Any insight? :)

[GeoffArmstrong]

I'd really appreciate it if you would be willing to take a look at this. Thanks!
