Hi,
Given that E-Prime 2 is now pretty much a final release, I was wondering how many of you feel it remains *particularly* instable? I mean, E-Studio (2, pro), latest version, and I don’t stupid crashes (say, recursively calling the sessionproc from a list within sessionproc). Just things like
· Writing inline:
Try typing:
/*
Hoppa
*/.
Works! Automatically becomes
‘/*
‘Hoppa
‘*/.
Now commented out. However, type in an inline (not the user part)
‘/*
Hoppa
*/....CRASH!
· Just dragging objects around, adding attributes, all sorts of randomness. Sometimes, there are nice big red crosses where graphics usually are.
The latter is the more annoying part. In general, when I’m developing something, on both my laptop and home pc (both win7prox64), this happens. In my experience, in fact, most people, even if they are very experienced, have random stability issues with e-studio. My question then is: does the list have similar issues? Say, if you’ve been doing some development, what is the chance that e-prime will crash within 60 minutes? I’m estimating it at 80% here.
Cheers,

Hi Michiel,
I'm still plodding along using an XP box for my main development platform, EP Pro latest version and it seems to be much more stable than you've experienced: P(crash per 1hr) << 5%. Although I haven't done anything particularly unusual or exploratory lately.
I have had quite a few crashes on running during development - the usual difficulties getting videos to work; loading nested Lists from file; but none of these are related to e-studio stability.
Copy-pasting from multiple open experiments, no problem at all; dragging objects around, ditto. No weird red X's either. Probably your development and mine is comparing apples and oranges, but my rate of crashes within E-Studio 2.x has been pretty constant (and low) for quite some time. Maybe it's more stable on XP?
Obviously this isn't much of a long term solution given the impending end of support for XP and perhaps some strong institutional pressure to move on.... I'd be interested to know about others' experiences too.
best,
DV

Thanks for posting about the cut and paste issue with EP 2.0.10.242. I often use it while writing programs (Matlab or E-prime) and it drives me crazy that EP (W7-64) crashes for no apparent reason with such a simple procedure (I just often copy just a line or 2). I haven't seen any CPU or memory load issues but it just freezes E-studio with no apparent way out.
