Can Anyone Save A Session in 5.0?

[mr_rmz28]

Thanks, Bob... for 5.0. Lots of great features and fixes, with more to come it looks like. I'm looking forward to the output channel recording feature coming later.

But... doing a simple test on a test PC with 5.0, I cannot exit SS 5.0 when prompted with the "Notice!" dialog box with the "Update Current EditList File Before Exiting?" (Yes/No/Cancel) text. It's as if I cannot get focus on that popup window. Clicking on it or its buttons has no effect, nor did pressing Y/N/C.

To reproduce, I can just launch SS 5.0, modify the label on track 1, and click the X in the upper right corner to exit. Is it just me on this non-optimized test PC?

Hopefully it is just me, but other users proceed with caution I suppose (as is always the case with any software update.) If this is an actual problem, it looks like it could cause you to lose your session/EditList. The only option I've found to end SS at that point is to terminate it the task in Task Manager.

4.9a works as expected, btw.

I'm experiencing freezing when I try to clear preferences, change sample rate, or load a new edl after making changes in an open one.

I tried the same thing and get the same issue. Win 7 32bit.

Also, if you open a session and right-click on a track and get the notice about not tracks, you can't close that window either.

Forgot to mention; when I forced quit and tried to delete the saw folder (to try a clean install), windows messaged that the app was still in use. I had to reboot.

Ok - thanks folks. Sounds like there are still some kinks to be worked out then.

I am testing on a Win 7 x64 i5 system myself.

You can check out, but...

So far no problems with 5.0 - closing works as usual..but still in the initial test run.

I am good with existing sessions, but new one's cause me grief.

Interesting... no matter how much you test... there is always something.

I have Win 2000, Win XP, Win XP64, Win 7 32bit, and Win 7 64 bit and it seems to work just fine one all of them here.

Perhaps try a fresh test install in a new folder and see what happens.

Could be something in the preferences.

Just curious, Bob: Can you say on which OS you're getting the best performance? Are you using the same or similar computers to test each OS?
