[Csnd] Trouble with CsoundQT - do I have the most stable version?

Subject[Csnd] Trouble with CsoundQT - do I have the most stable version?
I have used CsoundQT (0.6.1) with Csound 5.14 float samples on MacOSX  
10.5.8 recently. I have noticed two problems. Perhaps these are being  
addressed, or perhaps I have an old version: please let me know:

1. With large scores, CsoundQT editing is extremely slow, sometimes  
just displaying a beachball for 30 seconds. After awhile it runs  
somewhat better, but then may revert to beachball display. It seems  
like some internal memory management might be occurring. (My  
workaround is to store the score in a separate file and refer to it  
via #include.)

2. Whenever I enter CsoundQT's preferences, the program crashes when I  
exit from preferences. I think any preference changes I've made do get  
saved.

best,
Lou Cohen

Hi Lou,

These two issues are known and fixed. Although there is no "stable"
release yet, you might want to try the alpha versions, which might
work better. Otherwise, reverting to 0.6.0, will solve the crashing,
although the slowness with scores might remain.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/qutecsound/files/CsoundQt/0.7.0-alpha/

I'm very interested in hearing reports of stability and performance
for the current alphas, so if you want to give it a try, let me know
how it goes.

Cheers,
Andres

Hello,
I have CsoundQt 0.7-alpha on my winXP desktop (installed with the Csound 5.17.2 installer), and the program crashes each time I try to access the soundcard options. This has been the case with every version I've installed since Csound 5.15 (when I started using csound).
The same installers work well on a win7 laptop.
I just tried installing CsoundQt 0.6 using the installer from sourceforge and it crashes in the exact same way.
Can't try it on win7 because that laptop is now a Linux machine (and CsoundQt works very well in there), but CsoundQt worked very well when I still had windows installled.
Couldn't this bug be external to CsounfQt? Something like a missing library, maybe?

Alexandre

Andres,

I just tried 0.7 alpha5. It crashed upon launch. I tried a few times,  
same result each time.

Hi Alex,

Try removing the the FLTK plugins from Csound's plugin folder, i.e.
"virtual.dll" and "widgets.dll".
