Moho 14.4 crashes whenever I want to use the Guideline-Tool

Post by Hugging_Bear »

Hi guys,
after the latest update, Moho 14.4 crashes, whenever I try to use the Guidelines-Tool. Very annoying! :cry:
BTW - how do I get rid of the annoying Library window that appears by every start? I mean, how do I keep it from appearing?
One last tip: If it isn't broken - don't fix! Moho 14.3 worked flawless ... now I stumble over the first bug within the first 5 minutes.

do you mean Grid? or if it's MR_Guides, that's a third party script (IOW not a part of the LM 14.4)

Library window: close it; quit Moho. restart.

I just checked, MR_Guides works well in 14.4, without any issues.

@Hugging_Bear, what is the Guidelines-Tool?

I knew you wouldn't believe me, so I made a very short YouTube video: [youtube]https://youtu.be/xwdbAX5X978[/youtube]

PS: I deleted the Guides-Layer and created a new one. It stopped crashing ... for now.

it's not "we don't believe you" - it's "it is a third party tool" -- Mynd tools aren't part of LM's 14.4 package.

Maybe you can take this as inspiration to create an 'official' Guidelines-Tool for your next update. It's very useful ... I couldn't do my work without it (or at least it would be a lot harder)

Hi, I couldn’t reproduce the crash in Moho 14.4. But I updated the script and added a few extra validations for layer deletion just in case.

Thanks Eugene... and sorry if this is simply my confusion / my initial guess at what the OP meant by "Guidelines-Tool" -- is mr_guides the same as the Mynd tool (or are they two different things?)

Yes, MR Guides and the Mynd tool are different scripts.

Thanks -- it looks from the OP's video that it's the Mynd tool that is causing the crash -- and that also explains why neither you nor Stan could reproduce the crash with MR_Guides.

My apologies to all for my misleading guess in my initial response.
