Is it just me or the 0.98.08e version of wings is less stable?

Is appears to me that it crashes a lot more than the last version :(

One thing I noticed (don't remember if the last version did the same) was that if you press shift+Tab to get a smooth preview, the press the middle mouse button to rotate the camera and then if still in rotate camera mode press shift+Tab again, wings will crash or get the screen all gray without cursor and everithing.

Has anyone noticed this too?


Best regards.

Haven't had 08e crash even once for me.

I tried what you said about shift+tab though. It crashes depending on the camera mode. I only tested Blender and Mirai modes, in Mirai mode it crashes but in Blender mode it doesn't. Do you want to report it to the official development board or shall I?

Wings never crashed on me once since I started using it.

I have had it put up a wonky looking cube on screen... geom not quite square like.... opened new, and voila, a proper cube...

also there was a part whereby I was attempting to do an illegal material assignment and the whole app closed... I am taliking dissapeared... an for the life of me I now can't recall just what the assignment was... sorry :)

(it was my mistake when performing said procedure, and it hasn't happened since I have started to do things proper like. )

other than that... this little poly pusher rocks...

If you don't mind reporting it, go ahead.

I have never been on the official development board so I would appreciate if you did it.


Thank you.

I've never had wings do an actual crash where the program closed. Just dumps.

Ok, I reported the bug before I went to sleep and Bjorn has already fixed the bug, JPGargoyle. It affected Nendo and Mirai camera modes.

Ok. Thank you very much!

Wow. He already fixed it? That's cool! I wish all developers were like that ;)

Its funny how I never tryed the other camera modes. I'm using Mirai camera mode (because thats the one by default) and am so comfortable with it that never thought of trying a different one.


Best regards. :thumbsup:

The wonderful thing about wings3d crashes is that when it does do something that causes it to crash doesn't close down and leave you with nothing. It merely goes right back to what you had before the crash, and those timestamp files help wonderfully for that. In other apps that I tried, the crash resulted in a days worth of work lost to the crash gods.
