Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker / Re: Crashing when attempting to place 'pictures effect'

« on: November 11, 2021, 04:23:55 PM »

Update:

Something I forgot to add is that I am using Windows 11. Have tried 2021.36 several times (whether as a stand alone install or as an upgrade to 2021.35)  and the issue persists.

I uninstalled version 2021.36 and installed 2021.35 and everything is working again.

Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker / Crashing when attempting to place 'pictures effect'

« on: November 09, 2021, 10:43:00 PM »

I was working on a sequence, I went to place the pictures effect on the timeline and xLights crashed. I reopened xLights and the effect does show on the timeline, however when selected Lights crashes.
I have repeated this several times and xLights crashes every time.

xLights Version: 2021.36 64bit

Crash Files (including sequence.xml, rgbeffects.xml and a screen recording:

Do You Need Help? Post it here / xLights user survey for uni assignment

« on: June 27, 2021, 06:51:38 PM »

Hi everyone,

I am a member over at ACL and was advised this would also be a good place to post my request. (apologies if not allowed here or is section!) Below is copy paste from my ACL post: https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/please-help-xlights-user-survey-for-uni-assignment.13734/

I am currently completing a course on User-centred Design through RMIT Melbourne in Australia. As part of this course, and for my first assignment, I have chosen to assess xLights? usability. I am concentrating more on the creation of a sequence and user demographics in my analysis, but also obtaining some general information about xLights.

I would be grateful for anyone that could spare some of their time to complete a survey I created. The survey is mostly multiple choice with some open questions and shouldn?t take any longer than 5-10 minutes to complete (unless you want to provide extra details of course). It is completely anonymous with no personally identifiable information gathered.

The survey can be accessed until 1st July at: https://forms.gle/7ApsstQYoFuKBFhA9 (no logon or account required). Please let me know if you experience any issues

I know time can be precious, so thank you to anyone who can do this!

Dave
