I was trying out all sorts of things (probably a lot of it didn't make that much sense) and stumbled upon a way of quitting SM quite fast... See the image below:
You're probably not supposed to do that anyway, but it would be pretty painful if you accidentaly connect those two items and SM just crashes to the desktop while you were working on something.

Hi mipa,
This happens because you create an infinite loop. There really should be protection in place for this.
As a safety net you can use the Auto Recovery feature, this way of you make it crash you should get back an earlier version of what you were doing before it fell over.
Thanks.

Hi mipa, welcome to the forum 😉

Hey Tom 🙂 Glad to be here. I discovered SM yesterday and it's basically all I've been thinking about since then, so I will probably be here a lot more 😉
And it's certainly nice to see a product that is supported as well as this one is, by both devs and users... really cool 🙂

I do this about once a week; accidently connect an output of a primitve to its own input; instant crash, not even a crash report.
Not a biggie, but could frustrate nebies. Prob something to left right before v1.0. TIA

Yeah, agreed.

This also happens with other modules. The r&d int Loop crashes when linking the finished- to the start-signal

Yea, it happens with about 5 other modules I've found so far...

Well using SM nearly every day i have had a few hundred crashes total now, theres still a load of feedback related ones i think.
malc ·
A few hundred Tom? 😮
That's alot. Do they generate crash reports? If so do send them our way. Do you know why it's crashing? I mean is it aobviously an infinite loop caused by triggers?
Tom7777 ·
Sorry Malc, i often delete them becuase they fill up the SM folder so much, yeah there becuase of loading old examples and all that type of thing as well as feedbacks which causes a lot of crashes when used in certain ways, sorry i have sort of held back on the bug reports as of late i have been doing alot of work which is taking up most of my time. On the good side of things i have about 6 plugins finished now which i will be sharing with everyone when i finally get around to making a website 🙂
