Hi All,

Does anyone else get a long delay after opening their DLM files ?

Had no problems with previous versions and delay, but July release won't let me do anything at all until it's decided it's ready.... no idea what it's waiting for !

The Patch table also show's no information, but if the mouse is hovered over an address... it does tooltip my fixtures... just doesn't show them.

After 30 secs to a minute.. I can then click a couple of times on editor or Live tabs and can start using it...

Cheers,

That's weird and first I've heard of. Did you do a clean install of the program? By that I mean back up your files completely remove the program and any remaining folders of it, and install the July release new? If not, please try that as sometimes it's known to clear up weird pesky issues like this.
Also what release were you using previously? And is this on windows what? Windows 7?
Let me know thanks.
Hi James,

It's a parallel install incase there are problems Wink.

The parallel version is the 12th Feb Release where this doesn't happen.

Windows 7 64bit... Nothing much else installed on this laptop apart from MyDMX as it's my lighting laptop Smiler

I'll remove the old version and clean up.. then I'll re-install and see what happens tonight.

Cheers,

Hi James,

Finally managed to get 30 mins to play around with the installs.

Ok, so.... Removed ALL other versions and deleted directories containing Sudi etc..

Rebooted..

Clean install, downloaded SSL2 and Installed drivers.

Same problem.... then I did some more trouble shooting.,,,,
As it turns out, if I single clicked on the tabs, nothing happens... it appears to still be hanging... BUT, if I double clicked on any of the tabs, voila... instant display as expected....

Once I'd done this, everything appears to work fine navigating around the interface.

Also, if I leave MyDMX on the 'Live' tab before loading the file, it goes straight in no problems, no delay... if left on the 'Setup' tab, I get the problem that doesn't clear until double clicking on any of the other tabs..

So, resolved.. but slightly odd behaviour.

H.
