mflux Senior Member Offline Posts: 388	save as crash Dec 7th, 2006, 11:49am   Been experiecing some crashes (processing window goes poof) since version 0123. I would "save as" on a new file with nothing in it, and it would create the folder but processing would close. I'm on a Windows XP 2gb ram.

mflux Senior Member Offline Posts: 388	Re: save as crash Reply #3 - Dec 11th, 2006, 6:37pm   Right. Window closes. No error messages at all. Processing just vanishes. Poof.

Console says: Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_05-b05) Any "save as" gives me a 100% spike in CPU usage and stops VLC Media Player for a second. Slightly longer with a "new" and empty file. No crash though. I'm just posting control data.
