Re: [BUG] Softimage crashing on workgroup unload containing a custom renderer and at least on .xsirtcompound file

Hi Sajjad, back from my vacation - hence the late reply. ;-) What I did not mention in my initial mail(s) is that we stopped trying to switch workgroups on the fly *via events* a while ago because this also reliably crashed on our side. We've been using a custom loader/saver dialog for a number

Hi everyone! Just a small note on this (maybe this helps debugging further..): - having just a .xsirtcompound in a workgroup plus an open/once opened rendertree when unloading is a sure crasher (you dont even need a custom renderer in that workgroup) - the PluginManager[Tree Workgroup tabs]

Apologies for bringing this slightly old thread back to life. I have been testing workgroup switching without having to restart Softimage. Specifically, I have two workgroups, where each workgroup has just one add-on installed in it. No .xsirtcompound files exist in any workgroup. The addon in

Chris, well, I wasn't implying that the bug I found is the cause for every reported Arnold-related crash... :-) But all tests indicate that it is the cause for our specific scenario. As a test I've removed all xsirtcompound files from actual copies of a couple of our production workgroups and

Hi list, hi Support, as many other studios we've been suffering from fairly regular crashes when trying to switch workgroups containing custom renderers in an open softimage UI session. I've made several attempts to work around this issue in the past with mixed results. However this time I've
