I was trying to make a simple A/B image switcher with a multiplexer.
(Two things I was wondering about as I went along -- could it cause
problems
using the forward slash -- "A/B" -- in the published port name, and/
or using
a boolean input for the multiplexer index?)
I don't think a slash in the port name will matter, and a boolean
input for a mux is fine (assuming you only care about 2 different
inputs, which is the case for a 2-image switcher).
When adding the macro to the library it would not show up right away
so I
would then save the .qtz, then import the virtual macro .qtz. When I
did it
this way the macro would show up in the library, but loading it to the
editor would crash QC consistently. This apparently caused the
infinite
recursion?
I've been able to reproduce it on my personal 10.6 machine using
slightly different steps (yours weren't entirely clear on what to do,
so I kinda mashed buttons a bit ;).
Solution: if I only use Add To Library then close and reopen QC, it
works as
expected.
Is this still a bug I should report?
My ivory-tower opinion is that user actions generally shouldn't crash
a machine. Filing the bug will at least give it (the bug) a chance
that someone /might/ address it in the future.
When in doubt: if it's a crash or hang or kernel panic, file a bug no
questions asked (crash = user data is lost = Really Bad), otherwise
ask around on the mailing list (sometimes weird behavior actually has
a reason for being), and then file a bug -- filing a non-bug as a bug
is less harmful than not filing a bug on a potential issue, so err on
the side of filing too many, rather than too few :)
When you file the bug, please use as specific steps as possible to
reproduce it (down to the "I added a Multiplexer patch" and "I typed
in 'hi mom' for the virtual patch name" type stuff) -- not too crazy
("I clicked the mouse button"), but hopefully you get the idea :)
