Beta 11 crash

[MikeFromMesa]

I was saving a macro (using the new '+' control in the Macro panel) when Beta 11 crashed. You can find the crash report here.

Apparently this crash was not a "one off" as I tried again to create a macro and, again, when I tried to save it to the library, I got a crash. The crash reports may be identical but I am making it available just in case there is something new here. It can be found here.

Hey Mike, it is working for me however it may depend on what type of Macro you are making. Can you provide me with the steps so I can try and get this logged with the dev team. Thanks!

1) press Record Macro,

2) use Document -> Flatten command,

3) use Edit -> Matte and then click Apply in the Matte dialog box,

4) press Stop Recording,

5) press '+' to add the macro to the Library

 

On my system this crashes every time with Beta 11.

 

I have not downloaded Beta 12 (my internet is out, a recurring issue lately where I live) and I am using my cell phone hot spot so I do not want to start downloading large files. However I have been able to repeat this as many times as I wish with Beta 11 and each time generates a crash. I have uploaded the reports. When (and if?) my internet is reestablished I will download, install and test Beta 12.

I have exactly the same results with RC1 as I did with the previous Beta. Every time I record a macro with the above steps and try to add it to the library (with the '+' button) APB crashes. The latest crash dump is here.

 

This is a release candidate and I would have thought that a problem like this would have been considered a serious thing with the app so close to release.

Thanks Mike - it's on the list :)

 

There will be a number of RC builds before we release - I'll try to get this fixed for the next RC.

Hi Mike,

 

I'm trying to replicate this this morning but so far I can't!

 

It must be something specific to the file your are recording the macro on - I was testing using a simple JPEG.

 

I wonder what's at play here..

 

Thanks,

 

Andy.

I'm also struggling, I've tried with a multitude of image types and so far no crash. Can you attach a file you've managed to replicate this with. Thanks.

[MikeFromMesa]

It makes no difference for me. This happens every time to me whether the file is a raw, tif or jpg and it does not matter which file it is. That is, pick a raw, load it into APB, press develop, press macro record, Document -> Flatten, Edit -> Matte, Apply, macro stop recording, '+' and APB vanishes.

 

Pick any tif, repeat and APB vanishes. Pick any jpg, same thing.

 

I use this macro frequently because one of my workflow tools does not recognize adjusted files from the OnOne suite due to the active alpha channel and thus I have to use it on those files to make the file acceptable to that workflow tool. I did these steps in preparation so I did not have any actual layers when I did the flatten or any alpha channel when I did the Matte. That is, I just loaded the file (cr2, tif, tiff, jpg) and tried to record the macro but I have exactly the same results when I do have layers.

 

I have been working on my Mac Mini, which is my main working machine, but I will do some further testing using my MBP and actual OnOne files to see if there is any difference but this happens every single time I do it on my Mini, regardless. I can, if there is some question, record a video and post that.

OK. That is very interesting.

 

The problem did NOT show up on my MacBook Pro but does show up constantly on my Mini. On the MacBook Pro I get the small dialog box asking me to name the macro but it never gets that far on the Mini. I guess I will have to try to see why this is happening on one machine but not on the other. Presumably there is some software/configuration difference between them.
