here are the 10 images the Wayne Kremer sent. each of them are 50x50 in size.
While sequencing i put the megatree on a butterfly effect so you could see how big it is (it is 20x120, 180 degree tree).

I tried to install 3.4.14 and 3.4.15 the last few days (3.4.14 was a net new install on a fresh Win7 image) and the application icon was missing after the install....and in the nutcracker tab I couldn't resize the sections. I wonder if it's a resolution issue with the laptop, or if it's a bug/feature. I can see maybe the first 2 time sections and then have to scroll down. I'll give 3.4.16 a try in a little while, but wondering if anyone else is having similar issues?

BTW: can't wait to try some of the corofaces....have to work on my servo skull first today, but will try 3.4.16 later on for sure!!

I cannot get 3.14.16 to load. What am I doing wrong?

I am up to 3.14.12 with no issue. Do I need to incrementally load from 3.14.13 up?

I often skip releases and there has not been a problem.  There is no 3.14.16, but there is a 3.4.16.

What kind of message / indicator are you getting?

You say load but are you talking about installing the download or executing the installed copy?

Have you downloaded the file again?

Have you uninstalled xlights and reinstalled?  Your data will not be affected since it should be in a separate folder, most likely in your documents folder.

To get help you need to provide more information and the more specific it is, the better we can answer your questions.  Otherwise we feel like we are just speculating and there have been numerous instance of folks making the wrong assumptions while trying to answer a posted question.
