I think the way to handle it is to save your work as soon as you encounter an error when trying to run a Python script. That should be safe, based on what I encountered, since the crash only happens once a second Tk script is run. If you encounter an error while running a Python script, save your work, perhaps restart Poser, then avoid or (if you know Python) repair or de-bug the bad script.
The trouble from a scripting perspective is that a script may fail to load properly several times during the development process. So that makes development of any new Tk scripts potentially crash-inducing for Poser. I guess it really is time to stop using Tk as the quick-and-easy scripting option for Poser Python. :unsure:
Anyway, the initial script error doesn't cause the Poser crash, and as far as I know you should be able to save your work after the intial script problem. I only didn't because I'm used to seeing this kind of situation beget very different results.
Poser Pro 2014 has been hanging and crashing on me practically since the day I installed it. Could this script error be the cause? Is it specific scripts or does it bounce from one to another?
I'm asking because you've thrown light on a possibility the techs at SM and I have ben going round and round with for almost 8-9 months now.
I can work 2,3 days with no problems- Then pro will hang and crash 5 times in as many minutes.
