Enable to open database - Clearing the DirectoryHistories

Hi Marc,

Once again I encountered the Windows bug when opening an existing database located on 'My Documents' directory on Windows hard disk.

I start Geopsy and search for the current directory of the database. The previous opening database was on the network. Each time I select the directory 'My Documents', on the local Windows disk, Geopsy crashes.

I remember our discussion when this bug happens last time. Then I launch regedt32.exe (see your topic )

I navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/geopsy/OrganizationDefaults and do the following:
1) First I search for the filter number (filter-XXX) of geopsy database, in CurrentFilters directory
2) Then I clear the history list of the corresponding filter number (filter-XXX) in DirectoryHistories directory

This is working, and I can open my database.
I hope this post may help someone!

I upgraded to Qt 4.3.2 for Windows release. Maybe this problem has been fixed by Trolltech. I think it is linked to some obscure bug in Qt library (not sure).

Can you check it with the next release?
