Problems with smart copy

this happens quite randomly on all versions of PMNG. I will be working and really getting into my project and suddenly when I draw using smart copy the line will snap back to it’s original delta instead of the delta I specify and it will not let me draw with smart copy. My file where this happens is confidential so I’m sending it to you directly Jan. in hopes that you can get the bug to work for you.definately not a ram problem I had only 3 frames and I had the problem please fix when you can

I’m afraid I need to have some steps to make this happen frequently. I understand that it’s random but I’m quite sure that it’s connected to some special action(s). We need to find them.

Jan@cosmigo I appreciate you help on this matter but recently I did a fresh install of windows and I didn’t have this problem. Thanks for your continued support but I think at least for now we can say that this problem is solved.

Jan@cosmigo I am opening up this discussion again. I think this is a ram problem. The reason is because when I am drawing it usually doesn’t give me a problem right away. It usually waits for a few operations, If there was just some way to reallocate the ram I think I wouldn’t have the problem. After all I didn’t have the problem after a fresh install of windows. If you cannot fix this I understand.

RAM problems would not cause this effect in my opinion. Must be something else :thinking:

Hello Jan@cosmigo I spent some time and I think that I have a way to make this happen every time! I have sent you a file in your email named 03badsnap quasi.pmp. I have found that when you make a file with a minimum of 2 layers (1 animation layer and 1 static image layer) when you select smart copy/create curve even if all layers are empty when you change the delta on the first point as soon as you click your origin point the line will snap back to the origin coordinates. Furthermore I have found that the second set of coordinates do not snap back and stay the same.

I have also found that the curve in the line does not snap back either. And although I have not tested it I think that this bug is the same for the non curved line as well. Now that we have zeroed in on making this bug show up It may be easier to fix? thank you for making an awesome program and please fix this bug soon. Any help is greatly appreciated,
