I can provide dumps if needed, but it is easily reproducible. Open ABCreator, select File->New->[whichever type] and it crashes instead of providing a list of definition files to choose from.

I've noticed the same issue as well when I was trying to create a new aug file.

Had same here as well

Been using the shortcut of copy a different aug or dat and then clearing it out which works but unable to create a new one

Hey everyone! Someone else (or maybe one of you) submitted a support ticket with the issue. We have the problem fixed, and it will be out in our next release (tentatively planned for next week).
