New error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot read the array length because "a" is null

[Sarah Weeks]

Hello all, 

Has anyone else dealt with this error? 

          java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot read the array length because "a" is null

I have been happily working with ePADD (yay!) and haven't changed anything on my computer - but this is new today. 

I am running the standalone.jar file via the command line on a PC. This occurs when I go to import more folders into my instance of ePADD. It freezes when I’m about to choose the location from which to import.

I attached the error log to this message, if more info is needed. 

Thanks,
