Consistent program crashes on QT export ASP-5.6 on MAC OS 10.5.6 (iMac/24,MacPro, etc...)

Create a simple BG
Create an oval
Create 2 eyes in the oval

--Roll it from off-screen to center screen.

Export animation -- no problem...

now add a nose (draw tool)

Export animation -- no problem...

now vary the width of the lines inth nose and eyes.

Export animation -- Crash every time!!!

The bug lies in somewhere in the vector-line width coding. I'm convinced of that. If you remove any lines that were varied in width-- the animation will again export without problem.

Batch-Export seems immune to this- but this is a frustrating enough bug, that we've stopped using the program in production --and we love this program!!! It needs to be addressed. Is Smith Micro even spending time on development -- or is it something they acquired and are simply letting fade away?

This just got asked a day or two ago. Check this thread for the links I re-posted. This is a known and fixed issue.

Originally SM just bought the distribution rights, but not too long ago they hired the creator/developer to develop it for them. Before this, I think he just worked on it in his spare time. As far as I know there are at least two developers working on it full-time now.



I would seriously hope that this fix has been included in new sales by now.

Thanks for the link-- works great, glad they finally fixed it. I just put the program back in the mix.

As for bringing the creator/developer (Mike) back-- that's a good move. I had some early on email conversations with him when the program was picked up by e-frontier-- I think he's a solid guy and this will only benefit ASP's future incarnations. Hope v6 is on the way soon.
