fileQuartz crash corrupts related compositionsI have this problem with a file, more than once. I am making a Vj mixing program by the name of Senses. It loads files from a directory, applies effects, then outputs etc. I have this problem. I get it working and then I save, quit, come back to it in a few minutes and Quartz crashes loading it. It will open a blank composition, create and save a new one no problem. But, if I load the last save of Senses, or any previous rendition (v 1.0, 2.0, 2.2, etc) it will crash. Interestingly enough, I loaded this on a 2nd machine which is also running 32-bit QC 4.0 with 10.6.8 and a mirror of the plugins it loaded but with the below error report. It changed some of the routing of patches to get it to run when I hit okay after seeing the report. I read the crash report and I get the report below. I tried clearing the p.list, but that changed nothing. I tried uninstalling through the terminal, then reinstalling Quartz and no changes in condition. Removing certain plugins. The first time this occurred I tried scrubbing and reinstalling everything and that was the only time I was able to reload the last saved version with no grief (composition saved onto zip drive). But now, after three days since reinstalling and much work done I have encountered this problem again. I am sure one can imagine that this is unfortunate, and adds some insecurity to using Quartz Composer not knowing the cause just yet. But I know this is fixable and must be preventable. I have come up with a few ideas
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What I don't understand is how previous versions of the file would not work after a crash that happened many saves and version later? It even happens to versions of Senses loaded from quarantined computers as well. I aim for this project to be running smooth and open one day. I would really appreciate if anyone might be able to load this up and see if there were any apparent problems in the coding that kept it from running. Any feedback would be much appreciated,
Value Historian load .plistIt'd be nice to be able to load from a folder of .plist files as a structure of files. I guess this could require a new "plist" patch that outputs the structure of files, and an input on the Value Historian. Right now I believe the only way to use multiple files is to create multiple Value Historian patches with different files loaded to each, then switch between them.
