Well of course it is because I just d/l .22 last night!!
Thanks all for your efforts.

thanks, seems a bit more stable.It still crashes when scrolling fast through the effects (in effects settings) using the mouse wheel. Effect settings just goes blank and locks up.

I am sorry but i dont understand what you mean by "scrolling fast through effects"

 

[Gilrock]

Do you mean scrolling the effects listed in the combobox? Hmm...never tried that I always just drag and drop effects. I would vote that we not allow effect type to be changed there if it was up to me.

 

[marmalade]

yep scrolling through the effects once placed in the sequence. Probably not the best idea but i do it a lot to see if any of the effects as standard in the combo box give a result that might be useful (rather than dropping an effect one by one and hoping to see something). Only happens when scrolling the button so fast the effects don't have time to update.

 

[Gilrock]

Yep every time you change the effect its spawning a new render thread and trying to kill of the old one.
