Wireless search bug

Post by stw »

a small but disgusting one. :roll:
If a wireless link is connected to more than one target and a one is found by pressing the tab button FS immediatly crashes if the target is renamed and the tab button pressed again afterwards.
Maybe someone can confirm this?

I noticed such problem some time ago. I don't remember which ones, but there are cases (single and multiple wireless) when it crashes always, and there are cases when it works fine. Just go out of tab search mode, re-edit connector, and go back again to the tab search mode.

FS tends from time to time even to "latch" inexisting wireless connectors. Closing (yes, you can save it) and reopening the schematic helps.
Need to take a break? I have something right for you.

Jay - click on parrent wireless, press tab (it will push you to the first receiver), and without going out of the tab search mode (still circle around) - rename the connector, confirm and press tab to go next. It should crash.

oh sorry Jay... my description in the posting was misleading.
I wonder how you could miss that feature. It's essential if you're working with lot of wireless links. A huge time saver which i use often.
Anyway thanks for trying to both. I'll report it to Malc.

i also found out another thing relating to this,

if you cut a wireless sender with cntrl+X and put it back with cntrl+V you create invisible sources, do it a few times and then go to the receiver and use the tab to find the source, you will see that there are more to find also if there is just one receiver and one source.

it gets refreshed when reloading the schematic.
