Hi Friedrich, here are a couple of bugs I ran into today.

Windows version fiezi-Moviesandbox-019e842
When try to "clear drawing" the program crashes. The details of the error are:

I also get a dialog box stuck on the screen if I accidentally click on the "bones" menu option. I can't get the dialog box to go away. I have screenshots saved at:

Here are my system specs:

Intel P4 system 3.0 GHZ / 2GB RAM
Windows 7 32-bit
ATI Radeon HD 4600 video card

I'll try it on my Mac tomorrow to see if I get the same results.

Can't wait until I get time to actually look at tutorials to see how to actually use the program properly! Right now I just click around to see how things work.

Hey Donna,

thank you so much for this information! It's super helpful! I am trying to iron out most things that cause Crashes to desktop, so this is super-helpful! I am working on a fix for this one right now and will hopefully have a new version up tomorrow.

Thanks lots! Tutorials are in the making...

Oh, I also noticed that you are still using version 0.5 - the new version has a grey background.
Did you use this download link?

I know that it is frustrating to just wildly click around and I will hurry getting those tutorials and examples out there.

New Nightly build 1209 is out, adding "record" button to the timeline.
Download link is:

I downloaded the new nightly build fiezi-Moviesandbox-899e82a (Windows). I'm using the same system as before:
Intel P4 system 3.0 GHZ / 2GB RAM
Windows 7 32-bit
ATI Radeon HD 4600 video card

I don't get the same errors I did last time, but I get odd characters when I try to choose from the load menu. I re-downloaded the nightly build & got different characters. I rebooted and still get the same type of issue. Maybe I'm missing a font?

Ahhh! Yes! This is actually not a font but a UTF-8 problem. I was trying to only show certain file types, but as you can see, my file type descriptions seems to be converted to something rather odd. I'll have it fixed for tonight's nightly build! Thanks so much for pointing this out!

Sorry, the next nightly build will be out on monday - I'll use the weekend for creating tutorials...
