@d-healey Ok, so we need a way to have a static object without crashing the leak-detector and/or pluginval. There must be a way, there are other static objects in JUCE itself. I wonder how the ImageCache class does things.

@Christoph-Hart what are the implications of this for compiled plugins? Is this only something that is of concern for working in the HISE IDE?

@ulrik 3.6.2, 23 Sep 2023 built. I just downloaded the release from "develop" commit and the crash still happens. Anyways I gave up with that, I just tried to use it because I have more experience in web programming, but I decided to learn more about hise scripting :cowboy_hat_face: Anyways I think that is important to report the bug.

@d-healey For me the only thing different was having to create those two folders manually. Everything else works the same.

Yeah the problem with that is that I changed the way how icon path data is handled (I tried to reduce the binary size of HISE by putting all path data into one translation unit), however I need to update all places where I use the icons and if I forgot something, it will be an empty icon like here.

I get an assertion if I try to render a path like that in my debug builds, however it appears that I haven't opened that particular window for quite some time :)

@Christoph-Hart thank you now i know EXACTLY how to exact my revenge :smiling_face_with_horns:

@d-healey It seems like you were getting the same issue as me. I guess, that one bit was fixed, but there will be other bits to take care of. OK, I'll leave that for the end and consult my buddy, Chatty.

@aaronventure Thank you! Got it.

@Christoph-Hart when I open the project in Visual Studio, I get a bunch of errors off the bat.

Am I doing something silly? or is this something else.

@Adam_G One of my testers is having this issue as well and it's frustrating to not be able to pinpoint the issue and be able to solve it

Edit - I should have read the entire thread before replying to a post midway through.
It seems that it may be fixed in the latest build - I shall build and test later

@Christoph-Hart Thank you... trying this crashed HISE, but I must have had some experiments lurking earlier in my project. Clearing the cobwebs of previous DSP fixed it.

Xcode 15 is still not working here (judging by the Apple dev community it looks like this same error cropped up for a ton of people in the Xc15 beta cycle).

Thank you again!

@Christoph-Hart working, thanks!

@PLSEI1124 It worked here. You need to make a video, if you can't use screen capture then record your screen with a phone/camera

@Christoph-Hart works perfectly on mac and pc. thank you!!
