Application crashes on entering settings

[Max]

i customized my menu with some custom HA entities.
I deleted one of the entity in HA, because i sold it.

Since then the Settings of the Home Assistant Taskbar Menu Application can't be opened anymore.
The Application crashes with this error message:

Unbehandelte Ausnahme: System.NullReferenceException: Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt.

I didn't know, that it's possible to sell HA entities 😃

You can remove deleted entity from config manually:

• Paste following address in File Explorer

  %APPDATA%\Home Assistant Taskbar Menu\Home Assistant Taskbar Menu

• Open config_view.dat file
• Remove entry for deleted entity

😆 🤣 that would be nice, but i sold one smart device...

i removed the whole json inside the file, now it's possible to access the settings.
thanks for your fast help

Well, you didn't have to remove whole json, just one entry with removed entity would be enough

Fixed in v1.3.0.0
