@tBodine If it were me, I'd also try to evaluate time as a factor. Does the crash chance increase based on how long lc or the system itself has been running? Is there a chance that there is an external drive involved in the problem, like a usb drive that spins down into power save mode (or depending on your power settings, an internal drive can spin down too but far less likely if you're actively working) Having to wait for a drive to spin up shouldn't have a crash affect, but shouldn't and can't are two different things. I also ask about time as a factor because if you haven't hit a menu for a while, the resources might need to be popped back into memory (again possibly linked to a sleeping drive?)
When a hard crash occurs, do you kill whatever processes might be hung, then immediately restart lc? Or do you restart the whole machine? I'd recommend a total machine restart at least once then see if stability will increase for a while. One of the first things I do when having strange behaviors is remove usb drives from the loop, or before I do something that might cause the drive to be ramped up, I go to explorer and hit the drive so i'm sure its accessible, then go back and do whatever thing it was that has been causing crashes. (I've had some issues with plex crashing if my external drive doesn't respond with alacrity) On Sun, May 31, 2015 at 4:06 PM, Richard Gaskin <ambassa...@fourthworld.com> wrote: > Tom Bodine wrote: > > > I virtually always have the project browser open! > > Try running with it off for a while, perhaps using the App Browser instead. > > I know that's asking a lot, 'cause the Project Browser is pretty handy. > > But it'll certainly narrow things down if your crashes go away with it not > open. > > -- > Richard Gaskin > LiveCode Community Manager > rich...@livecode.org > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
