I look at the crash output of the program and every time I decide that I simply don't have the energy to learn enough about Cinelerras internals to find the root cause of the problem because it's so potentially complex, being multi-threaded and having it's own GUI toolkit. Anyhow when a standard toolkit is used I expect that half the problems will just never happen. Cheers, Tim
