Yeah, sorry Eric I did mean Pyqt not quicktime.
And Steven, when the plugin gives errors I mean that the command
Application.getQtSoftimageAnchor() gives an error so your example
plugins don't work either. Im not at all saying its the plugins fault
but I am wondering what could cause this to happen to any softimage plugin.
As Sandy said, there are "greater" forces at work here, lol. I'm trying
to find out what could be causing them and how to prevent them.

Steven I saw you mentioned it does not persist any data - BUT we have
had some wierd stuff go down here, including scenes that completely
lose render options. You could render a region, but try and render
the scene either preview or proper and you get script errors all over
the place. Also scenes that crash on the farm AND the batch crash on
local machines first time, then if you just leave them they suddenly
work fine.
There are greater forces at work here [tongue in cheek]

as i said, the plugin does not depend on any data persisted in a
scene. if the example plugins run without issue then its not the
plugin's fault but the gui/app they are trying to run.

And that data is fubar in that scene at scene level.

Did this scenes happen to originate in an older version of
Softimage where QuickTime wasn't supported by 64 bit?

Hi Steven and Jo
A few days back I had to open an animators scene to do some
tests and for some reason the qtSoftimage plugin just wouldn't
work at all. Xsi would load the scene and it would
automatically report that COM Error: Out of present range.
(0x-7ffdfff6) error. Luckily this doesn't happen too often
anymore, but with this specific scene no matter how many times
I closed and reopened it, not once did the plugin work.
BUT...when I merged it into a new scene all of a sudden the
plugin started working again, without any issues. This new
merged scene I have opened and closed several times just to
make sure this isn't random and so far the plugin has been
absolutely fine.
My question to you is do you have any idea as to why this
could happen?
And to the rest of the list; does anyone know what is stored
in an xsi scene that gets lost when the scene is merged that
could cause conflicts/errors?
Thanks for all the help so far :)
