Well, we can only go by our own crash rates and word-of-mouth since we don't get to see the global stats. Our local crash rates here are still what I would call "awful", and clearly worse on 1.23 than 1.22, with two users making heavy use of hardware selected and purchased specifically on the basis of the published requirements for SLV. The crashes are almost always due --as far as I can see from the information available-- to virtual memory exhaustion. Perhaps I have "a specific video card". If so, I think the "specific video card manufacturer" would be interested in hearing about a claim that their card is crashing your app...I'd be interested in hearing the details of the bugs you filed with them, assuming it's not constrained by an NDA.. (The last time I dealt with a severe SLV bug that was repeatedly and strenuously attributed to the video card driver, it turned out to be the result of a trivial code defect in SLV, found by a third party developer). I do hope your crash rate is calculated per session hour. Because if it's a raw number of crashes per day or even per session, I do know that the uptake of 1.23 in our operation was limited by the fact that the thing kept leaking up and falling over, and if others were affected the same way then a raw crash rate per day would be badly distorted. Any chance you'll start publishing the viewer crash stats? Maggie Darwin
