Description

Recently I have been getting an error when starting up FMAN and when opening files and folders. I copied the Core Settings.json file from the Core Apps github page to ensure it is correct. I don't believe I changed anything between when the software was working and when I started getting the errors. See below for screenshots of the errors.

Error when starting up:
Fman settings

Error when opening folder:
Fman folder

Research direction

Start by reproducing the JSON decoder errors during startup and when opening a folder, using the reported Core Settings.json as the initial configuration reference. Inspect the available error screenshots and determine the cause; the work is done when valid settings no longer trigger either error.
