The slow toolbox loading thing seems to have returned, on this pc it happens but i don't have loads of modules, seems to happen on the first load only then loading again its quite quick.

Also a new host bug has appeared no doubt from the last beta/version like the orion crash i found this time it makes FL show a run time error then more errors follow, one time when checking if it was repeatable it completely locked my pc which has never happened before so pretty major imo, i have sent you a email with screenshots of the errors.

Happens to me too. No Idea why

yeah, as Dan said, it happens on the first run, then it's ok...

So the very first time you launch SM after installing it's slow but any time after that it's fine?

Not sure exactly why that is, will need to check but doesn't sound too serious if it only happens once and then never again.

No it will happen every time you turn your pc off and on, the first time you load Sm up after powering the computer on it will happen and then not happen again until you turn your pc off again, so it is constantly happening, Unless of course you just leave the pc running for days on end 🙂

How many modules did you add to the toolbox Dan?

Tom7777 ·

200 but alot are basic logics etc

Dan - do any of them have any coded float arrays that you populated inside the code? I've noticed recently that assigning lots of values to float arrays inside code can really slow SM down. Might relate to some of infuzions problems too...

I have some stored arrays in a text module wrapped in a module so i can quickly use them again.

What puzzles me is that, unless I've misunderstood (again), it only happens the first time you run SM after booting up. If you close SM and open it again everything is fine. It's only if you reboot that you get the issue again - that's right isn't it Dan?

I could understand if it happened every time you ran the software. However, if it only happens the first time after booting I'm a bit lost.

I Definitely I can live with it, I really do't care too much. I just confirmed it's true, it happens after rebooting, only on SM1.1, I'm on XP Pro. Maybe the people on Vista does not have this problem. 🙂

Yeah just after each reboot

It depends how you look at things i guess i can live with it but all the annoying things like slow first loads, crashes, slowdowns, and high cpu doesn't make me think of SM as efficiant and easy to work with right now. Sure you can ignore things but they all add up imo.
