Maybe a better idea would be to include this in the help file of [pix_film] so that people know about it. Forgive me if it's in a doc somewhere already, but I never recalled seeing this piece of info anywhere.
But besides documenting it, I can't really see what purpose it serves to have that error if it could be changed otherwise. People know they need a window before they can see anything, anyway, and it's not like the error it throws says "make a gemwin first, dummy!" ;-) I could see this having problems if you had either an installation or a performance patch which autoloaded clips, perhaps before the window was created simply because the order of operations wasn't specific enough. Just my 2cents after a rather frustrating day ;-) best, d. chris clepper wrote: > I could change this to allow loading before window creation, but the > general idea is that you need a window to do anything so create that first. > > On 7/24/07, * Derek Holzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> > wrote: > > ROTFLMAO.
