Has anyone had a crash while trying to copy and paste a Group of Rotated
Spline oobjects (Moray for Win v3.1 Build 4251). I'm pretty sure it happened
when i tried to paste the group.  In anycase, it caused a (i'm not sure i
remember correctly) segmentation fault within Moray. Moray then kindly
offered 3 choices, one being abort whcich I didn't try. The other two I did
to no avail (i don't recall what they were). So i knew(hoped actually) that
if I tried closing Moray it would ask me to if I wanted to save the current
.mdl. Which it did. and I saved it. Moray exited. Then I tried to restart
Moray and reopen the file i was working on. I get the error: "An error
occured while reading the file vasestand.mdl. The error was 'File is not
open' "

and a blank scene is loaded. My question is, can I recover the .mld file i
was working on? I sucesfully opened vasestand.bak, but it was not even close
to being up to speed with what I was doing at the time of the crash. Anyway,
thanks for the help. If you need any other details, i'll try to give them to
you.

Hi Ross Litscher, you recently wrote in moray.win:

Nope<g>. Are you sure about that Build number? I assume you mean 4215.
If so, please always try to use the latest version. You can download
the latest version (Build 4325) from our website at
www.stmuc.com/moray

> Moray then kindly offered 3 choices, one being abort whcich I didn't try. 
It was probably an Assertion then. It would have been *REALLY* helpful
if you had written down the file and line number that is displayed in
that dialog box.....

> The other two I did to no avail (i don't recall what they were). 
Wait. The other two choices would have been 'Retry' and 'Ignore'. But
if you tried both of those *to no avail*, how did you manage to close
Moray? You can only close Moray if you choose 'Ignore' and Moray
subsequently does not do a hard crash. But in that case the MDL may be
damaged.

> My question is, can I recover the .mld file i was working on? 
No, you cannot. But I may be able to. Send me the MDL file
(lut### [at] stmuccom) and I will see if I can recover it.

ah yeah i guess I could have written down some data for this ::grin::. I
managed to close moray my clicking on the "X" close button. you know, the
generic windows close button. Maybe I'll try to recreate the crash. Thanks
for the offer to try to recover the .mdl, but i've decided to recreate the
whole scene with much more detail than I previously had.

Also, the build # was what you said. If I cannot eventually recreate the
crash, i'll go grab a newer version. Thanks for the help :)

That's not a good idea. I really don't want to go hunting down bugs
that have already been fixed in later versions. And my revision
history does contain bug fixes between 4215 and 4325 that are related
to pasting and to CSG objects. So please use the latest build.
