Crash on Export - png files?

[DanH]

Hi export for my plugin (standalone, fx, au whatever) and straight crash follows (OSX). There's some png errors in the crash report. I recently included 70 png files (about 30kb each), so I'm thinking it's something to do with that. Report below... any ideas welcome!

png_struct_def

looks like its a problem in the contents of your pngs - as a guess - what are you using to make the pngs?

[DanH]

@Lindon I need to do them again anyway so will process them through gimp and see if that helps...

@DanH said in Crash on Export - png files?:

about 30kb each

Is this the size in HISE or the size on disk?

[DanH]

@d-healey I don't know what the size in Hise is... that's the file size on disk. How do I find out about Hise? I haven't compressed them at all - OSX may have though...

Compression makes no difference. Once loaded into memory they expand to full bitmap size - search the forum for more info on that.

You can see their memory usage in HISE in the pool table. You'll need to add a floating window or custom popup and add a pool table to it to see this.

@Christoph-Hart I think this should be a default window available from the view menu probably. Along with others like the server controller, etc.

[DanH]

@d-healey Yup I know about the compression thing.

Can't see a pool table in the floating tile options. How can I configure the custom pop up? I made a module browser before, can't remember how though!

[DanH]

@DanH oh found it! some of my knob filmstrips are 5000 kb, but the images I'm using are all about 344 kb.

[d.healey]

@DanH Does the total come to more than 50mb?

[DanH]

@d-healey 234 mb!

[DanH]

@d-healey I don't need and am not using them all though. I figured Hise only includes the images that are actually used in the project, but perhaps I'm wrong about that!

If you've added it to the pool then it will be included in the plugin. With that size of images you should probably use a separate file rather than embedding them in the plugin.

nice, good to know. I'll see what I can do to reduce the load!! Thanks :)

yep suspicious of this - use gimp and export as png

[DanH]

@d-healey so I've got the images file sizes down as much as I can... It's 95mb in Hise. My other projects have similar image sizes and export fine, so I gave it a go and boom, crashed like before.

So I unchecked Imbed Images and it still crashes like before... So perhaps it's something else?!

report:

[d.healey]

So the crash happens before it compiles?

[DanH]

@d-healey yep, a few seconds after hitting export, before it asks about batch compile or anything.

I'll do some debugging in the morning and reprocess the pngs

[d.healey]

@DanH said in Crash on Export - png files?:

yep, a few seconds after hitting export, before it asks about batch compile or anything.

Possibly nothing to do with your images then. Try removing them all and see what happens

[DanH]

@d-healey it was this line

Engine.loadImageIntoPool("*");

Which I was commenting out but Hise needed to be restarted before the change would take effect.

Thanks for the help :)
