Chuck, I had a clip on FlyerB0: called WorldPrem.1 that was from a LW 3.5 anim rendered as a clip in probably 4.02. It's been playing back fine under 4.06. Then in LW 4.0, I rendered a new version of the same clip, but named WorldPrem.2 in order to do a comparison of the clips created by each LW version. But – guess what! When WorldPrem.2 finished rendering, WOrldPrem.1 was no longer on the drive!?!? Que passa, Amigo? wmc – via Autopilot!

Whooooa! I'll see if we can replicate that error here, but I've done some short run renders with .1 and .2 extensions with no trouble, just in the last couple days. Chuck.

Ooops! False alarm on this one. I checked back in my notes and found that, when I did a re-org on that drive it changed the anims icon. Being too stupid to figure out how th change an icon without creating a new clip (I'm assuming that IS a feature somewhere, right?) I created the .2 file with new Icon from cutting room and deleted .1 and forgot to rename it. So when I rendered and set the file to .2 I clobbered it. Now, about those icon re-writes. For some reason or other, re-org seems to change icons and I haven't figured the pattern. I had recreated my long clip after the machine got back with 4.04 on it. Then I re-rog'd once sometime after which I played back the long clip. Aside from the color shifr I mentnioned to you before it played back fine. I re-orged again today, and the icon got changed to the generic clip icon (film stip thingy) and the clip only plays the first minute of a 16 min clip. Well actually, it just keeps showing a 'torn' version of a frame from about 1 min into the clip until the 16 minutes is up with no drive activity after the first minute. Anyway, that is the least of my problems: the bit of having to remove and re-insert the Flyer card everytime I want to turn on the machine is the problem I would really like to get solved. It's now at the point where I don't even have to run the FLyer in the session prior to the one when I want to boot. But it does appear thermal or potentially some capacitive bleed thing as if I leave it for a few hours it generally starts again. wmc – via Autopilot!

With this message and the private posting on the WF/VS results, I should be able to get something figured out with the engineers. We have identified and fixed some further bugs that cause problems particularly with GVP accelerated systems, and your backward-operating sliders were one of the symptoms of that. The icon screw-ups are not limited to re-org. This is also something we are working on. Chuck.
