Parameter Tab and Wavetable bugs - Build 1458

[rorschach]

Hello!

So, I've recently upgraded to build 1458. I was having some theming issues with an earlier version so thought it was time. Well, unfortunately, Buzz seems to be pretty much unusable for me. I'm fairly certain that this must be a problem with my setup as I can't find any reference to this here, but any help would be hugely appreciated as I have a project I need to finish and I can't work on it at the moment! I'm hoping I'm just missing a library of some kind, but we'll see... I apologise for the length of post, but I'm trying to include all relevant information.

My setup: Intel Core 2 Duo T7300, 3 GB ram, Windows XP SP3.

I have completely removed all older versions of Buzz, cleaned my registry, reinstalled and made no changes (the Gear folder is as per the default). I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile installed.

I think these are two separate bugs, but they may be related so I thought I'd post them both here.

The first issue is when I click the 'Parameters' tab in the right hand frame of the Machine View I get the following wall of text pop-up:



If I close the pop-up and click off and then back on the Parameters tab, all seems to be fine, but I can't be certain it is.

The following is the Debug Console info from my Buzz Startup (I notice there are a number of WPF errors):

My second issue is with the wavetable view. I can load a sample into the first slot:

Code: Select all

File : D:\My Documents\Buzz\Samples\Crimewave 2 radio.wav
Length : 4589716

  Block Align   : 4
  Bit Width     : 16
  Bytes/sec     : 176400
data : 4589672
End

But as soon as I select a different slot I get the following wall of text:



With the following message in the debug console:

Code: Select all

02:28 [WPFTraceListener] Cannot save value from target back to source. BindingExpression:Path=SelectedItem; DataItem='WavetableVM' (HashCode=26673201); target element is 'ListView' (Name='waves'); target property is 'SelectedItem' (type 'Object') MissingMethodException:'System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Boolean MS.Internal.AssemblyHelper.IsXLinqNonIdempotentProperty(System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptor)'.

I close the pop-up and try to load a sample into the selected slot and get this message:



The sample does not load into the wavetable.

Any ideas what is going on here? Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks

this may be related to .net4 on win xp only.
you are using the default theme which actually should work.

i noticed a bug in the wavetable view though since the latest builds (wpf toolbar) with other themes.

as for your first debug post, these wpf messages are also coming up on win7/default theme but not the error message boxes.

sidenote:
since the Controls.xaml came in some problems pop up. but it does not exist in the default theme.
the appearance of control objects like a checkbox, radio button and scrollviewer is controlled there (globally).
so this affects also the sidebar.(if using other themes)

you could do the following:
1) backup the default theme and remove it from the theme folder
2) install latest build again
3) check if the problems are gone (i doubt it but it might be worth a shot

Just skip the new builds until they get more stable. There are a lot of changes being made a the moment.

Ok. Thanks for the feedback, it's hugely appreciated. Could you recommend which is the latest build I should use to avoid these errors?

Many thanks.

classic build 1453

[rorschach]

Thanks again. And thank you for writing a completely awesome programme

[rorschach]

Just FYI: Build 1453 has fixed the problem with clicking on the Parameter tab, but the Wavetable slot selection error still persists.

It appears that after clicking 'Ok' to the final error box (the 'Method Not Found: 'Boolean MS.Internal.AssemblyHelper.IsXLinqNonIdempotentProperty(System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptor)' error) I am then able to move a sample into the selected slot. I still then get the same pop-up errors when I select another sample slot, but it isn't preventing me from continuing with my project.

I accept that this may be an error that solely exists in XP and is therefore unsupported, but thought I'd best let you know in case it is a bigger problem that you need to be aware of.

Cheers.
