After 2 1/2 hours of work this AM (frequent saves) I was editing a big scrip when the editor screen turned black and KABOOM!
Restared Lemur, opened my project and I was back to yesterday.
What happened??????

Since I am still in a learning mode I do a lot of editing. Silly me, thinking that I could use TextMate, BBEdit, TextEdit, Word, etc. to edit my code. No such luck! When I edit in one of these and try to paste back into Lemur I get one long line of text, so much fun to go in and put returns in on a 200+ line script. NOT!

I can't believe that I'm missing something here with cutting and pasting or is this a for real issue?

I DON'T have bugs in my code!
NOT!

It was a big if statement to get around array limitations. I just put the text objects into a container and had to replace the long names with a pointer name i.e. FrameBuffer.CurrentBankName has become:

decl cBna;
cBNa = findobject('FrameBuffer.CurrentBankName');


Using 3 arrays has worked which is getting me a lot deeper and adding new functionality each day. I still have some wish list items (preset saving, string manipulation, multi-d arrays) but at least I'm at the point where I can muck thru sticking points. The forum is beginning to become more useful as I can now target my searches using the correct terminology.

Now if I could only figure how to get track position out of Traktor.......

Not to be too much of a noob but where would I find the crash logs?

thx
