Stereo Tool

This is what I call a WAD - Working As Designed.

PDFshell gets installed when you install Acrobat or Acrobat Reader to enable functionality within Windows Explorer / the Windows Shell. This is fully and completely normal, and nothing to panic over and/or complicate code unecessarily over.

A referenced hotfix for Windows XP SP2 systems is here:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... -us;909486

I doubt anything within your code can address the issue, as it's a crash happening in Windows code, thus the reason for the hotfix above. If it's not corrected by the hotfix (or newer versions of the files listed in the hotfix, like from SP3), then the person having the issue should probably check for updates to any and all shell extensions they have installed and/or contact Microsoft.

Also, you are aware that Acrobat Reader is up to version 10.1.1 now? 7 is very old (released in 2005)... Version 10 (Reader X) added sandboxing for Windows versions...

Hi Brian,

I understand that it is behaving as it should - the thing is that IF something like this crashes I have *no* control over it. That's why I said 'wooh!'.

About the version: I'was running things in a 7 year old VMware machine. No need to update Abobe on that - I never use it there.

No Hans ,
Just cam studio is pointed to record sound from the cable that plays winamp
Processing stops .
Just close without any notes (reports like : Send Dont send.. ect.)
I think that this is not from StereoTool too.
It`s a kind of other software bug or something !

BETA123A:
- Channel swap issue in Normal Output is probably fixed now. (I found a bug: The value that indicates the currently active channel in the 2nd thread in case of multi-threading was not reset when the ASIO connection was closed and re-opened).
- Added a try/catch around open/save window code (this probably won't help).

Only the stand alone version differs from the previous beta:

Stand alone version: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 0-123A.exe

So this is the Adobe sh*t .
No need to add try/catch code in ST Hans
Adobe is a company that I don`t like . So You don`t need to fix their bugs/errors .
Pls clean it (don`t work) Still closes .
St is not respond for this ! Don`t write code that is useless .
I reported this because I think it was important . But don`t worry we will update to SP3 and this will gone !
Btw What version of windows You use.... XP with SP3 ?

Yes channel swap issue is fixed.
I only hear some loud static when i change the buffer size of the normal output while i have the FM transmitter output enabled. It's when i don't have Asio channels selected for FM transmitter output. I don't know if that's easy to fix. Else don't bother too much.

In beta 105 and ahead in VST there is something change about RDS .There is a delay between static text and after that scrolling one . below beta 105 everything is alright

Looks like how much time is the static text displayed (say 10s ) .. there is exactly same delay (10s) before scrolling one appears.
Hans please correct this .

If you do have SP2, then you should update to SP3. If that still doesn't correct the issue, then you need to look at any other software you have installed that add functionality to the Windows Shell. Usually these are things that add functionality to Windows Explorer, which is what you are bringing up when you do the Save / Save As functionality.

Can you send me your RDS string? (in a PM if you don't want to post it here). I've tried a combination of static and scrolling texts but I don't notice anything strange.

What did change in beta 105 is that the default behavior is that word wrap (|) is enabled if nothing is specified - that _should_ only affect texts that are longer than 8 characters. And definitely not affect scrolling.

Great! I'm not going to fix that other issue because I have a major redesign planned anyway which should tackle this.
