crash with palmer 0.4b
« on: 2011-03-09 05:24:32 »
Just wondering if anyone knows of a fix or workaround for this? Basically I am having a crash with palmer, it is consistent and apparently unavoidable. Currently I am working on a project that involves resizing the field images to higher resolutions so I need this program to work. the reason why this crash is so annoying is because once it happens, no matter how many times I close the program and shut the process, Palmer will not work again until I restart my computer. It happenings after opening a field file, it stops responding. I haven't counted but it seems to happen after I open about 4 or 5 field files. If I close and reopen the program it'll stop responding on opening a field file again. No matter what I do this continues until I restart the computer. The reason why this is such a hassle is because I have several windows and photoshop images open while working on my project and restart means waiting and reopening opening everything. All I need is way to get palmer to start working again after the crash happens without having to restart. It would save me a ton of time. Any help would be great thanks.

*edit*
its become even more frequent -.-
also from time to time it seems the temporary folder where I keep my finished layers is being wiped clean. I think palmer has something to do with it because the 3 times it has happened Palmer was open. and the only other program I have open is photoshop. These problems have resulted in a massive loss of time and I really can't wait for a new version of this. Also I noticed some of the animations from the originals are lost in the conversion. Is there anyway, using palmer, to retain the animations in the resized layers? Thank you

*edit2*
Problem solved so for anyone else having a similar problem, I noticed Palmer never crashes if I do not have Firefox open. I am an avid web browser so I always have it open and never would have guessed that it was the cause. So if you are having a similar problem just close your web browser (or any other application for that matter)

I had that problem before, is it on a specific file it crashes on?

Thats odd, I did have that happen once a long time ago. Not sure if it was 0.4b or not. Never really solved it. On the computer I am running now I have never had any issues.

so it might be computer or OS related then? I've tried running compatibility mode with several version of windows with no luck. I'll work through it if I have to. Its just annoying restarting once every hour or so

It's hard to say. Are you using vista? That is what my OS was when I had problems. Win 7 has been fine for me so far.
