Hi,
In the latest beta v0.9.1c I can no longer load bitmaps in either through the 'Bitmap' module (the one with 'Load...' written on it) or by using my own schematic with a 'String'(with the path/name of the bitmap)->'Bitmap' etc.
Also, there seems to be an intermittent problem with SynthMakers audio engine, at least on my machine. Every now and then the audio output will just stop on me. Sometimes this is fixed by closing and re-opening the .osm file I'm working on other times I have to quit SynthMaker and restart it.
Finally, when I tried to double-click on an .osm file to open it up in SynthMaker nothing happens - however the process does start as it's listed in task manager.
For reference I run Win2K SP4 on an Athlon XP2500+ with 1GB Ram on an Asus A7N8X-Dlx Rev2.0 MoBo and an Audiophile 2496 PCI card all latest drivers.
Phew, there's a few things for you 😉
Cheers,
Shif.

Hi Shifrin
Version 0.9.1c is an internal version, its not ready for a release and we put it online to get feedback from people that are in close touch in this forum like yourself. You shouldnt rely on schematics saved with internal versions, so dont do anything too important with it.
Having said that, your feedback is very welcome, that's the point of making available internal versions with alpha components etc.

Version 0.9.1c has important changes in the way the MGUI displays graphics in the module's front panels, now it clips to the module's front panel size which can easily affect panels higher up in the hierarchy. I suspect the problem with the Bitmap module is related with that. With v0.9.1c we didnt update the modules in the toolbox to work with the latest version, that's one of the reasons it isnt ready for release.

I think malc has fixed that, should be working in the next version we upload.

I hadnt noticed that one, thanks for reporting it.

I always find that kind of info to be very useful. Specially knowing that you're using Win2K as it seems to be more affected by bugs than XP.
If you're in the middle of something and you need to get it working ( like bitmaps for example ) I'll show you here what to do, otherwise you'll probably have it working in the next release.
take care

That's OK I'm just fiddling around mostly so I'm happy to wait 🙂
Many thanks for the speedy reply!!!
