68: checkback
« on: May 13th, 2004, 6:01pm » |

i was trying to solve some issues with p5 and qt 6.5.1 hanging on a videoLoad() / repeat() call and found that depending on where i put the p5-application folder, the freezing problems come and go. i checked all actual readme & revisions, doc, lib-doc, and FAQ,posts. couldn't find a thing about it, so here i triple-check with the buglist:
setup: p-068, w2k, qt6.5.1, winVdig combo
example: hernando barragan's 'pixels'
when putting my p0068-folder on the win.desktop, that is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\processing-0068
p5 freezes and the javaw.exe process has to be killed.
putting the p0068-folder to something 'simple' like:
d:\processing-0068
everything is fine.
needless to say: the folders are copies (no changes) and i usually start up processing.exe and not run.bat.
this might also be a cause for some of the quicktime-problems that have been posted in the group. i strongly suggest that this is written down somewhere prominently (install.txt/readme.txt?) if it can be replicated by someone else.
if it's just me who's dumb, blind & stupid enough to even try running p5 fron such akward locations, please disregard this post. 
cheers.

i've never been able to get processings quicktime examples working either...
jus tried to copy my processing folder to c:\ and 'loading quitime' example from the examples folder worked! 
( running winXP, 0069 expert, java 1.4.2_04, qt 6.1pro )

interesting.. i wonder if this changed between 57 and 58 (not 67/6 when the serial stuff started being weird too..
i use processing from the root of my c:\ drive so i tend to miss these sort of bugs..

hi ben,
i just tried fiddling with 0056 expert (pc) to see if quicktime was working back then... when i ran it from a folder on my desktop it crashed javaw massively!.. however, when running it directly from c:\ it worked.
so the quicktime stuff has (aparently) always been the same.

i did some more testing on other systems. it's really the path that messes things up. i've gotten some feedback from other people that i was in touch with because of the same problems. it fixed it for them too.
maybe it's time that this really simple fix is posted somewhere prominently?
