1st-time wizard crashes on 2nd screen
Just installed Rider, clicked "Run rider" in the last screen of setup, 1st-time wizard showed, selected to import my settings from VS 2022, clicked next, clicked ".NET 6" and got a null-pointer ex.
Rider starts manually, but I'm not sure if
a) Rider was such a good idea, if already the 1st-time wizard fails
b) there are setup steps missung to have a satisfiying dev session with it.
What to do?

I have not used the import for some while now as I am a happy Rider user for quite some time, so I cannot confirm (or deny) point a. Regarding point b: you can (and probably should) go through the settings ( you can open them with Ctrl+Alt+S (IntelliJ keymap) anyways. You can customize a lot of stuff and by adding plugins you can extend Rider further.
To import settings from Visual Studio go to Tools > Import and Export Settings. Click Import selected environment settings and then click Next. Specify whether you want to save the current settings to a file and click Next.
Please upload settings and idea.log to our storage and send me the ID.
Hi Anna,
I'm suprised that there's a response! Seems finally alive!
But sorry, case is already closed, Rider was uninstalled and archived as a mixed experience.
Don't worry, getting a qualified answer in the community forum one month later simply fits in the picture I got: Basically a great idea to set something against the dominance of that Redmond based company, in the end it feels like a stand-alone version of Re-Sharper. Some neet ideas in it but lacks a lot of really helpful features I got used to in VS over all those years, esp. a usefull console, scaffolding stuff or graphical designers for WPF. Documentation is poor, asking colleagues for help doesn't work as no one knows anything helpfull, even on stackoverflow results are not really satisfying. Probably coming back in some years or so.
If you do mean some other console, please elaborate which exact console it is. Can you provide a screen-shot?
