If you find bugs specifically related to this build, please post them here instead of the Bug reporting forum. Any feedback positive or negative should also go in here, no new threads. This way all feedback, etc related to this build will be in the one place.

I've included 'Xion Portable' in the downloads list which is a .zip file with no installer and with no File Type registration or Registry access at all. This is so that users can run it from a USB device without needing to install anything. Other than that the builds should be identical. Let me know if you find any issues! Thanks!

Enjoy!

n1 Cliff!

you forgot to add in layer set layer can be hidden also, this is a great addition imo for those wanting to hide items in animation layer sets

hopefully the last few posts in the 76 thread can be looked at soon regarding the cd play, hopefully pickles post might be fixed with the playlist changes
i did a quick check on bass site and noticed a few posts, is ther anything specific we can test or you want us to test in the tags Cliff?

its strange that the cd should cause issues as i've not seen any bugs when i tried out the evil player for cd

whats next on the tofix list Cliff?

Is the cd play still causing crashes in this build? Its possible it was related to the tag library, however I'm not sure. How do I reproduce the crashes on my end?

yes, pickle's problems should hopefully now be fixed. I added large amounts of songs to my playlist with no issues at all.

what's next to fix? well, hopefully nothing! There are a few things I will be looking at after release, but I want to get this as stable as possible before release, so if everyone can let me know of any issues, I'll get to work on fixing them and then finally I can create a new public release!

i tried it out earlier and yea cd is still playing up
cd play is just through normal use, it seems as tho the tracks dont want to play sometimes thru natural song progression ie no intervention, just let the cd play on from track to track, when it stops and the timer goes back to zero and then the next track doesnt play, as soon as you goto play or press next track then xion will crash, the faults are on the last few posts on the 76 thread
