Toolbox duplicating items by itself

Post by billv »

Not sure how it happened, but i opened one of my toolbox folders and found that all the items
had been duplicated. 3 or 4 folders are like this.
What causes this behaviour? User error? :?

I guess they wanted to make the toolbox sooo gooood, that they made it sooo baaaad :-) It looks that some refreshing trigger is missing (or stuck somewhere among other priorities) from time to time.
Need to take a break? I have something right for you.

Almost certainly a bug - Walter reported problems the other day with his toolbox too; a similar thing where the problem came and went when re-starting.
The v3.0.2 'Firefly' list of updates mentions a change to the tagging system, so I guess that must have broken something.

FYI - sent an e-mail to support with links to this thread and Walter's, so that they can see that the two problems might be related.

Thanks Trog. I'm just glad I took the first picture. When it changed back again I thought
"Yeh baby, I've got you cornered now" :D

Well it just happened again, but this time i saw and remembered the exact sequence of events.

A: Open FS. Open X11. I dragged the seq module into toolbox. Shutdown FS and then re-opened.
The error was there

B. Shutdown FS again and re-start-the error is gone.

Other factor's maybe to bear in mind:
1: This module is large.
2: I sometime have to work like "point A" because the X11 is so large(i think), it causes a memory issue.
the issue on my CPU is very real: eg: If I am stupid enough to attempt to copy/paste even say, a simple
"Label" module, I'll be waiting for more than 60 seconds before I'm allowed to paste it somewhere.
No s**t. So a lot of the time, while working in the X11, instead of manually copy/pasteing the normal way,
i drag it into a copy/paste folder in the toolbox. Or else, pull the whole module out, save + shutdown,
re-start and work away without the X11 baggage, dragging it back in when done.

Hope that helps in some way. it's all i can think of....

Tested this point to make sure.
Opened the X11 and dragged a stock "Label" module in. Right clicked copy-Took 49 seconds exact.
How's that for "poor synth design"...far to many componants......hhhhmmmmm

Hey Guys, can I ask a favour?
Next time you open your copy of the X11(if you have one) can you try this

So,
billv= 2.33 Quad-core = 49 seconds.
