01:12 < tj11> can someone help with my windows vista installation of synfig single thread .62 release?
01:14 -!- candela [~futuro@95.19.14.195] has joined #synfig
01:16 < tj11> if someone can help with this issue, it would be much appreciated...basically the program seems to install ok, but when i do very basic functions such as put a color gradient in the back ground, or even right click on the gradient name, the program will freeze and then be forced to shut down..   The prompt screen says "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's suppo

03:07 < pixelgeek_> Hi tj11 
03:07 < pixelgeek_> You still around?
03:08 -!- elk [~sweed@136.43.213.193.static.cust.telenor.com] has quit []
03:15 < pixelgeek_> tj11: in case you cme back to your PC later - check the black DOS box that Synfig brings up.
03:17 < tj11> hi im here
03:17 < pixelgeek_> Do you see something like "synfig(1332) [8:12:55 PM] info: ../../../src/gtkmm/asyncrenderer.cpp:484 rendering in the same thread" every time the canvas is rendered? If not, it indicates that you are still multi-threaded- and will see crashes. Quit synfig and check if your settings file (C:\Users\loginname\Synfig\settings [or similar]) contains the line "pref.single_threaded=1"
03:20 < pixelgeek_> Does that make sense to you>
03:20 < pixelgeek_> ?
03:21 < tj11> well the dox box only says "loading modules from....." it never updates
03:22 < tj11> dos box
03:22 < pixelgeek_> Hmmm - 
03:22 < pixelgeek_> Can you tell me what the about box says?
03:23 < tj11> how can i check the settings file? from my explorer or from dos?
03:23 < tj11> ok
03:23 < pixelgeek_> Revision or build date
03:24 < tj11> synfig(2940) info: Loading modules from../etc/synfig_modules.cfg
03:27 < pixelgeek_> Yes, from the main dialog, click help then about
03:28 < tj11> Development version: Revision: 20091103 Branch: master Revision ID: b7e88289b2031b7270555918673b1d463ff4633a  Built on Nov 25 2009  Built with: ETL 0.04.13 Synfig API (006000) Synfig library 47 GTK+ 2.16.0 GNU G++ 3.4.5  Using: Synfig 0.62.00 GTK+ 2.16.0
03:29 < pixelgeek_> Haha - you have a later version than I do on this machine
03:29 < pixelgeek_> hang on while I update
03:32 < pixelgeek_> OK - I just downloaded and installed the one from the web
03:32 < pixelgeek_> As soon as I start my console box shows
03:32 < pixelgeek_>    synfig studio -- starting up application...  synfig(2284) [6:31:24 PM] info: Loading modules from ../etc/synfig_modules.cfg synfig(2284) [6:31:25 PM] info: ../../../src/gtkmm/asyncrenderer.cpp:484 renderi ng in the same thread synfig(2284) [6:31:25 PM] info: ../../../src/gtkmm/asyncrenderer.cpp:484 renderi ng in the same thread
03:32 < tj11> i dont get the subsequent messages
03:32 < tj11> only the first part
03:33 < pixelgeek_> makes me think  that you're still in multi-threading mode
03:33 < pixelgeek_> (that and the crashes :) )
03:34 < tj11> i tried uninstalling and reinstalling
03:34 < pixelgeek_> Go ahead and quit synfig
03:34 < tj11> ok
03:34 < pixelgeek_> Open your C:\Users\loginname\Synfig\ folder in explorer
03:35 < pixelgeek_> then edit the settings file with notepad
03:36 < pixelgeek_> Vista may complain that it doesn't have a program to open it with, but it's just a text file, you can use notepad.
03:36 < tj11> its open
03:37 < pixelgeek_> there should be a line "pref.single_threaded=1"
03:37 < tj11> mine says = 0
03:37 < pixelgeek_> about 15 lines in
03:37 < pixelgeek_> edit it to a 1
03:37 < pixelgeek_> then save
03:37 < tj11> ok
03:38 < pixelgeek_> close it out then you should be able to restart Synfig
03:38 < tj11> ok, now the box is updating
03:39 < pixelgeek_> you see the rendering in the same thread messges?
03:39 < tj11> yes
03:39 < tj11> i think its working now..
03:39 < tj11> that you very much!
03:39 < pixelgeek_> Cool - you should find that much more stable now.
03:39 < tj11> yea...what a simple fix
03:39 < pixelgeek_> What puzzles me is why it didn't come up 1 by default.  :(
03:40 < tj11> first you heard of this?
03:40 < pixelgeek_> Left the source on my other PC, so I can't check right now.  
03:40 < pixelgeek_> A couple people have had issues, but couldn't reproduce them.
03:41 < pixelgeek_> Did you have previous versions installed that you updated from?
03:41 < tj11> no
03:41 < pixelgeek_> Hmm...
03:41 < pixelgeek_> I'll have to check the source.  
03:41 < pixelgeek_> I think we're getting close to a new release anyway.  
03:42 < pixelgeek_> Genete was talking about doing one in March.
03:42 < pixelgeek_> or April
03:42 < tj11> the download page only had the one windows package, so it wasnt necessary to download the other files that were needed with previous versions
03:42 < pixelgeek_> Yes - that's a request we've had from users for a long time :)
03:43 < pixelgeek_> So where are you from?  What's your background?  How did you come across Synfig?
03:43 < tj11> yea, it seemed to work out fine except for that one issue...i wonder why im the only one who had that issue
03:43 < tj11> im in nyc, and had been interested in animation for a while
03:44 < pixelgeek_> How's the snow there?
03:44 < tj11> didnt snow..that was in dc
03:44 < tj11> they said we were going to get hit, but it never came
03:44 < pixelgeek_> ah - yes I'd heard 4-8 inches forecast there
03:45 < tj11> you are out west?
03:45 < pixelgeek_> Yup - I was out in the yard in a T-shirt this afternoon - it was lovely.
03:46 < tj11> yea...i read about how nice it is, even people who live near the fire zones, they said they wouldnt think of living anywhere else
03:47 < pixelgeek_> OK - well enjoy Synfig.  Let us know if you run into any other problems.  Post some of your artwork in the forums!
03:48 < tj11> will do...thanks again!
03:48 < pixelgeek_> No worries.  Happy to help. 
04:52 < pixelgeek> Huh - my copy of the source has 
04:52 < pixelgeek> 	synfigapp::Main::settings().set_value("pref.single_threaded","0");
04:53 < pixelgeek> Probably need to fix that to be a '1' by default.  
04:53 < pixelgeek> I wonder why we haven't had more people complaining...  
04:53 < pixelgeek> Let's see if genete already updated it.
04:54 < pixelgeek> Ugh - have to drop off the vpn to run git.
04:54 < pixelgeek> later folks!

05:06 < pixelgeek> Aahh.  I thought we'd fixed this already.  Looks like I submitted it Nov 25th and it got rolled in December 13th.  
05:07 < pixelgeek> The 11/03 version had the default still set to enable multi-threading.  
05:08 < pixelgeek> tj11: It should default to a more robust configuration in the next release :)
