Quote - 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.

I'm not sure I can address whether this could be the cause of, or related somehow to, the crashes you've been encountering.  Do you run a lot of Poser Python scripts, and keep using scripts which give you errors?  The script errors I'm talking about are not ambiguous.  You'll know when they happen.  Poser will notifiy you that the script failed.  Then you'll see a bunch of failed Tk GUI instances pop up before the Poser crash.  Unless you're seeing something like that, I doubt it's the same situation.

I had the kind of trouble you're reporting, when Poser 8 came out.  It's a whole lot of no fun.  :sad:  I still have misgivings about any dealings with Customer Support since then, even though they continue to be helpful and have solved several subsequent problems I've had.  One gets the sense that sometimes they just don't know why Poser may be crashing, for a given user.  :unsure:

 

What I don't understand is why Poser doesn't cache a scene somehow, to be recovered when there's a crash.  Something like autosave.  The stuff is in the memory.  Seems like something could maybe be done to aid recovery.  I would like a crashed Poser to open up with the scene it held before the crash, sort of like Mozilla remembers what pages I had loaded, when I restart it after a program crash.  Hmm.  I'm sure there's a reason Poser and other programs don't do something like this.  :unsure:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
