GIMP works and its free. Not quite as good as Photoshop or Illustrator but ... its free ... might not be the "best" but ... its free ...

I use Illustrator and Photoshop but I know not everyone has access to those.

"draw sprites easily"

You might look at GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program)

Its very powerful. Not quite as good as Photoshop but it can do many of the same things and its free!

With the way I have it setup that's what it should be doing. I've tried to turn off the low power card but you can't get rid of it completely. Something about the ATI chip visualizes through the Intel chip or something. I'm not a big fan of the setup.

The requirement of updated video drivers and the fact that my laptop technically runs two different drivers (this one has an Intel HD 3000 for low power and ATI Radeon HD 6770 for performance) makes me think its related to the graphics switching in some way.

The fact that the problem doesn't happen until after an amount of time sort of also points to the graphics card switch. After a time most laptops will go into some sort of power save mode which typically involves activating the low power GPU.

Because Windows is throwing out two error messages and I have two graphics cards and because of the time delay required it seems like it might all be related in some way.

aerger - What kind of machine are you on (laptop? desktop?)?

I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact my laptop has switching graphics card to save battery when a full card is not needed.

Reading the crash pop ups it sort of seems its a Windows handling of C2 crash rather than an internal crash in C2.

Thanks Ashley! The rules seemed fairly rigid so I wanted to ask before I did anything.

Export from C2 and place CSV files in the folder you're running from.

Press M to do anything.

This CAPX has been set to be exported and pull in external csv files from within the app folder using AJAX URL load request.

The setup works fine in Preview from C2 with AJAX pulling from Project Files but when I export to Desktop app and set my AJAX to get the CSV using URL my On-Complete never happens and I only get one file or the other loaded, not both.

I don't know what "tag Ashley" means...

Sorry I am a graphics artist and After Effects user that accidentally got involved in a project way over my head...

If it was not for the miracle of C2 I would be dead in the water! The last programming I did was COBOL back in 1993.

I think so... I am using R139. The last version I had I think was R134 and I had no issues with that version. The release before that though I had the same issues I am having with R139.

It seems to just be a time thing. If I open C2, do nothing, it closes fine right away. If I let it sit, even without working on a CAPX, it will crash on closing. Working on a CAPX it almost always crashes on closing.

I can still save and everything seems to be OK. My apps still export just fine and I've had no issues beyond my own failures and mistakes as far as that goes. Its just while trying to close the main window it crashes.

and like everything else in C2 its right there in my face where it should be!!

I'm just so used to seeing an "Edit" menu... :)

With C2 I feel like I own a car without ever seeing a car before. It keeps going in circles and the Mechanic says "well duh... you only have two tires on it!"

Those are the kinds of mistakes I keep making in C2... some things are so silly obvious but I just can't see them until a mechanic points it out!

Thanks!

Is there a way to do a "Find" ?

I'd love to be able to use a "Find" feature that can show me all the places I have a particular name/object/variable...

According to the Bug Reporting rules my Report will be immediately ignored because there is no CAPX associated with my problem.

Construct 2 crashes every time I close it. Doesn't matter if I loaded a project or not.

I can save and close projects just fine.

When I try to close C2 it locks up and Windows gives me two crash reports and it force closes.

I'd like to submit a Report... should I just send a totally unrelated CAPX so I'm not auto-deleted?
