SUPER BUGGY!!!!

After spending many hours programming lemur templates in t he last 10 days, I've had my work disappear at least 10 times. Both on the ipad1 and the lemur editor (mac), I'll open up a template only to find that more than half the objects have disappeared.

What a huge waste of time and money. Fuck this shit.
Goodbye.

Hi
Are you using 3.02 or 3.01? Have you contacted support directly?
I have not have too many problems with my own work -i7 10.6.8. & iPad2 iOS5. .
Have had some weirdness trying to stick several large templates together as one but somewhat expected as they were never planned for use that way . . .
Have not had objects disappearing from saved files . ..

Perhaps wait till they can at least do a few software updates before passing final judgement . . .

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch. Sorry to hear you've been losing work. File size is getting truncated over 512kb. This is a known bug and should be fixed in the next update of the Lemur Editor.

If you're experiencing any other issues please send an email to support@liine.net

Best regards,
Nick

Guys! Please also fix the issue with the timecode 0, we can't use Isadora with lemur.

Please as soon as it is possible.

Hi
Just wondering what you mean by 'issue with timecode 0' ??

What are the issues with Isadora? I thought it spoke both MIDI and OSC, so it should work . . .

What are you trying to do with timecode between Lemur and Isadora?

Cheers
MM
PS Any chance of changing the title to this post to something better/more accurate . . .

I think the title is accurate. This software is unacceptably buggy. I was really excited when it first came out, spent my hard-earned money, put many hours into programming, and I've pretty much had to walk away from it all because it just doesn't work.

I guess it is a case of 'your mileage may vary' . . .
It certainly works for me with only a few issues that I am sure are being tweaked out as I write.
It certainly does pretty much everything (plus a bit more) that a hardware Lemur does, so it is certainly functional.
Having tried various music software for over 20 years there is no way I would shout this as 'super buggy' . . .
I'm sorry that you have had dramas and hope you hang in for at least the next update or two and see what happens . . .

Cheers

Hey, I'm glad it works for you. Hopefully it'll work for me some day.

i agree with Macciza

as a owner of the legacy hardware Lemur, i must say that this new 'skin' is in fact for the same furry animal!

I've been in touch with Mark @ Isadora. A very old detail of the OSC spec was implemented different on Isadora and Lemur side. This should be fixed in the next version.

Best regards,
Nick

has this been fixed in version 3.0.2? - My templat is now around 500kB, and I wonder if I should go on, or just wait for an update

not fixed for me

Any idea on when the next version will be out?

okay, good to know! So I'll wait...

when fixing this bug, please don't take this too seriously:

"640 kB ought to be enough for anybody."

However it was not Bill --> Q. Did you ever say, as has been widely circulated on the Internet, "640K [of RAM] ought to be enough for anybody?"
No! That makes me so mad I can't believe it! Do you realize the pain the industry went through while the IBM PC was limited to 640K? The machine was going to be 512K at one point, and we kept pushing it up. I never said that statement–I said the opposite of that. ref: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/biztech/gatesivu.htm

Pardon me if you've already gone to support and posted your issues on other parts of this forum - but ASSuming that you have NOT done this - The assertion that the software is just plain buggy and not working is not going to help you solve your problem all that quickly. Let us know some more about the specifics of what's going on and perhaps another member of the community or tech support can help out. There surely ARE some bugs inn this software - and perhaps some which even keep you from doing the specific task you want to do...but it's actually not impossibly buggy or just plain broken. (as evidenced by the fact that a whole bunch of us are using it).

I most surely don't mean to be harsh - I do know how it is when you've been working on a computer and your work just disappears - it SUCKS. Let us know some more about the specifics if you still have the energy to do so, and perhaps you will have your issue resolved and maybe even save someone else the frustration.

Will well wishes - V

yeah I didn't really post in the interest of being constructive. I was just pissed. So far, every ipad controller app besides touchosc has been unacceptably unstable for me. I use this stuff on stage to make a living. Disappearing data doesn't work for me.
I think I emailed support about this issue, but it could have been about other bugs.
Honestly, at this point I'm disillusioned with lemur and am not very invested in working to improve this software with detailed bug reports etc.
The grownups said they know what the problem is and will fix it in the next update. When that happens I'll try it out, but I've pretty much moved on. I've heard that promise too many times to count on things changing.

Yeah, it sucks. Wish I hadn't spent all that time and money.
