Can confirm problem also exists for me under Windows 7 in version 3.1.4784 and 3.0.4040. Throws a "System.NullReferenceException" error. Bug report sent when prompted. Possibly related: In these same versions, the version number isn't shown under About. Reverting to older versions fixes problem. Using Altair Hypercam 224C USB3.0 colour camera, but still happens if camera is disconnected.

Thank you - please do report any other issues you find that are new, particularly in the new 3.0 builds. I had to make a bigger change than I would normally like and in a hurry in response to the Windows Defender issues, so there may be other minor glitches that have crept in.

cheers,

Robin
