I wrote our animation pipeline to use XML for data storage so animators can seamlessly transfer from one character to another. The file format organizes the data by model and by animation type so upon import the animator can selectively choose fragments to import and/or retarget in case the destination model/parameter has been renamed or doesn't exist.
The part of the toolset that uses the GridData object is the importer which must scan all the XML animation files the user wants to import and extract all the model and parameter names which do not exist in the current scene. They are presented in a 2 column GridData object with the left column marked as read only containing the models and parameters found in the XML files, and the right column marked as editable containing models found in the current scene which can be used to receive the incoming data. The right column displays the models as combo items. The PPG displays just fine, but crashes Softimage when the user closes the PPG. Results of running the same code reading the same XML files in each of the following versions of Softimage: Softimage 7.5 (32 bit) --> OK Softimage 2013 SP1 (32 bit) --> crash Softimage 2013 SP1 (64 bit) --> OK It'll take a bit to extract a code snippet. I'm not doing anything fancy.

Until someone respond (if anyone had that issue) ... what kind of data do you store in the GridData? Can you provide a snippet so we can try to reproduce it? Does it happen on XSI 64bit (if you have it installed)?
