I am still waiting for the first Maxwell Render Version fully operable, without a single bug. Sorry but sometime I get tired of dealing with bugs, and need a more stable platform.

Once you have that, then users could have a choise of staying with that version, or upgrade to new unexpected versions.

Today we have no choise.

I'm still waiting on any software that's fully operable, without a single bug. Know of any?

[Mattia Sullini]

If you need to know what an unusable software is for real, join me in the Vue community! There will alwais be someone that is in a worse condition than you

Know of any?

Notepad?

Know of any?

Notepad?

Open up Notepad
Type in this sentence exactly (without quotes): "this app can break"
Save the file to your hard drive.
Close Notepad
Open the saved file by double clicking it, and you will see ...

a sequence of Chinese characters or empty squares...

[Bubbaloo]

Awesome! I got the squares. What's the deal?

Its a bug of sorts.
Something about unicode vs ANSI detection between saving and opening a file that contains a string of characters in the format "aaaa aaa aaa aaaaa"

They say it has been corrected in the Vista version.

lol...that's fixed on Vista.

@Bubbaloo: it's trying to take a guess about the encoding of the document, and failing with this particular pattern of characters...if you don't much about text encodings...don't ask - you really don't want to know.

[edit: d'oh! Thomas is quicker. ]

This thread reminds me of a lyric from a Little Feat song: "Some kind of man, he can't do anything wrong. If I see him I'll tell him you're waiting."

[Mihai]

Ok, not even Notepad.....the calculator? I won't even ask about the clock...

Regarding the infamous date/time control panel faux pas...







*also fixed on Vista

Windows itself? Yet fixed with Vista?
