SM 0_9_2m Loading of files crash

jorge · 9 Apr 2005

Thanks Tom7777

I think the problem is with the install file, it needs to change the registry to indicate which exe to run when you double click on the file. I used an old install script by mistake. It will be easy to fix.

I'm very interested in knowing if apart from the double clicking on a .osm bug and loading schematics after a crash bug, if you noticed any other new problems with the latest version.

Hmm more crashes just using the app in general stuff like copying modules caused a crash but then i try and repeat the error but its not there. I also noticed more crackling sounds when playing chords and there was the redraw error on scopes and xy pads where if you click and drag on it a smaller version of the image redraws in the top left corner of the area, I will report any other errors i find. I sent you 2 PM messages also i don't know if you read them yet. Thanks 🙂

And those are all new bugs that started with version m?

ok Tom7777, after investigating further I found that the bug is related to using the 1 sample delay component and not the install script. So double clicking on a .osm file should work fine unless the schematic uses the one sample delay component.

No there not all the bugs im still testing it a bit to find errors. Will post a list sometime 🙂

I didnt mean to ask if they're all the bugs. What I wanted to know was if I really introduced so many bugs in the latest version when there arent so many changes to the code.

Here is a new version that should fix the crash you reported in this thread: [old link] let me know if it works. Thanks a lot for your help.

Ok sorry i read the question the wrong way well there are a few errors not so many really. I sent you a PM with a list of bugs but most of these are from the older versions too but just have not been fixed.

Your PM is very useful, thanks.

No problem, I hope i can help towards making SM the best Modular app ever 🙂

Tom7777 · 9 Apr 2005

Oh and i have just had a great new idea, maybe my best yet and it would be a first for all Modular synth building apps. Will be very hard to code it though i guess. I will just go and add it to the ToDo List.

I thought it was already 🙂 ( only joking )

Tom7777 · 10 Apr 2005

Its by far the best VSTI/VST creator but for modular synthesis theres a lot of products but its up there with the best for sure 🙂

I've just uploaded a new version n with the correct install script, it should fix the double clicking a .osm file bug but I have no way of testing it because it was already working for me before.

Great! It is working now! Thanks jorge. ik.

Tom7777 · 12 Apr 2005

Nah its not working in SM 0_9_2n, I dunno why Ik seems to think its working now, I keep backup install files - version L allows you to double click files and load them fine but then with version M it started giving the message "Failed to open file" followed by a crash. exactly the same error happens in version N.

Tom7777 · 12 Apr 2005

No wait i must have had an even earlier version of N which you must have updated, You should have called it SM 0_9_2o, Everythings working fine now, Sorry Ik my mistake. 🙂
