when i tried to import the wallet above, like i said previously i notice 2 extra files in the folder that are auto created as the crash happens:
armory_XXXX_wallet.lmdb-lock
armory_XXXX_wallet.lmdb
These are watching only copies of the python wallet for the new code to run off of. You can delete these all you want, but 0.96 will recreate them on the fly if they are missing. Earlier versions don't use these files.
Ok, well i created a test wallet in 95.1 and upgraded to 96.0, i open armory with test wallet files inside folder already and it will create these watch only wallets but as soon as the GUI begins to start up, it crashes.
I especially tried this with offline armory, to import digital backup or even from paper backup and as soon as i import, it crashes, i open offline armory again and the wallet didnt import, yet its still in the folder.
I checked the armorylog.txt file and it says this before the crash:
2017-05-08 17:17 (INFO) -- ArmoryQt.py:2102 - Loading wallets...
2017-05-08 17:17 (INFO) -- ArmoryQt.py:2167 - Number of wallets read in: 1
2017-05-08 17:17 (INFO) -- ArmoryQt.py:2172 - Wallet (35Qpf31Yj): "Test " (Encrypted)
2017-05-08 17:17 (INFO) -- ArmoryQt.py:2177 - Loading Multisig Lockboxes
crashes just after that.
Im not sure why this is happening even with brand new wallets. The other thing is that i tried doing a test backup on both wallets and it crashes the gui on that too.
