Application Freezes if file import cancelled

neilwilkes

When creating a DVD-ROM project, if I add files in the normal way and then try to hit the "Cancel" button, this causes GPME to stop responding altogether.

Is this just me, or is there a known issue here please?

neilwilkes,

I attempted to reproduce your results, but was unable to. Please provide a more detail description of the situation leading up to the freeze. Thanks.

Happy to oblige.

Create new DVD-ROM (UDF/ISO)
Add a couple of long WAV files.
Try to cancel the adding of those files (I added the wrong ones)
GPME froze up - I had to kill with CTRL/ALT/DEL bringing up the task manager, which told me that GPME was not responding.

This is the first time this happened to me.

neilwilkes,

What is the approximate size of the wave files? Have you tried to load different files and cancel the transfer? Thanks.

Matt.

Approximately 1.6 Gb each. (They are 24/96 files)

I cannot remember trying to add others at the same time - just trying to stop the loading as I realised that alll 4 would be too much for a single layer project. I didn't want to wait until GPME asked me if I wanted to increase the project size, so tried to cancel the files from loading, and that is when it went fruit shaped.

Odd thing is that I have since tried to recreate this - and also failed.
However, I have backups to get onto disc later, and will try to recreate.
How do I turn on logging, so that if it goes "pop" again I can send you the log.

On another side - is Tom okay?
I've sent him a couple of mails but not got an answer which is unusual.
Hope all is well at GEAR towers!

neilwilkes,

Here is an article that explains how to set up SCSI logging:

Matt,

Appreciated.
I should have found that for myself, methinks.
I will print this off, and try to replicate the crash/Freeze.
As soon as I succeed, I will post the reults for you in this thread - or I can PM them to you directly.
Your Call.

neilwilkes,

You may wish to email them to support@gearsoftware.com. The log files can be rather long. Just make sure to include in the subject, ATTN: Matt V

Thanks.

Thanks Matt.

I will try to get this done over the weekend, if not before.
