Thanks Mike,

Not a fan of leaving in behavior that can potentially crash the app. I will keep looking for ways to mitigate re-allocation.

Cheers!

Are you sure?

I can understand trying to harden and proof it, but I really was throwing completely aberrant mouse actions at it. Just so you know. With normal usage, all my computers are running SVD totally fine.

When I was working at Palm (in a past life), we used to have a test exactly like this. It was a tool in the simulator called Gremlins that would inject random screen taps into your app to try and break it. It was surprisingly effective! :D

May not be specific to the beta but how is the restore button supposed to work? I would like to create multiple versions without starting over, but as soon as I deactivate tracking and apply noise reduction to finish one image the restore button is greyed out after.

After applying NR and saving you can click 'Undo'. Then the 'Restore' isn't greyed out and you can go back.

My understanding is that tracking has to be active for Restore to be available.

Sounds like your processing approach would fit very well with using the excellent STReplay.

I just downloaded .518

What happened to the rotate module? Is there a way to change rotation angle before cropping now to get the right crop on certain data? I don't see anything.

It's still there? It's identical to 1.7...

Yeah that's very strange the rotate button along with the stereo3D button disappeared. I closed and went to check the previous beta version and they didn't show up there either. I closed and reopened latest and now see them both again. m1 macbook air
