Crashes on "Live stack" window close and FX menu

Hi Robin,

If I close the Live Stack window, it often crashes. Now tend to "Pause" the Live Stack and do the Goto Object directly. It then adds the option to start a new live stack. This is helpful, although does not prevent a missed acquired frame (discussed elsewhere).

It has also crashed once when I have touched the FX menu.

SharpCap pops up a window briefly saying it will save and send crash/debug information if I click on save and send, or something like that. I have done this many times. Do you get any report?

This is for SC v.4.1.14091, under Win11.

Cheers, Chris.

Attached is the log file that ends with the crash after the Live Stack window close ...
Cheer, Chris.

Hi Chris,

please update - that issue is now fixed in the most recent versions.

The story is that I found evidence of a way that the image could get displayed without dark/flat being applied in some circumstances, but I couldn't work out exactly how it happened. I added extra checks to try to trap it and that's what you ran into - it turned out that if the timing was just right (just wrong maybe?) then it could happen when you closed live stacking. The good news was that once I started getting the bug reports of that happening I was able to dig down and find and fix the underlying issue.

cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin,

No, not recently. v4.1.14155 has not shown this behaviour.
Cheers, Chris.
