Dorchester - Drum maps with track templates crash Sonar

I tested that and it seems ok on my PC. No crash.
Colours all ok and saved in template. The one thing that stands out is that when you Narrow all Strips from the Strips Menu and then save, once you open the template they reset back to widen tracks. That may be the way it was designed. Its not very fast saving the template nor opening it. Otherwise everything ok.
Quad core cpu with 16 GB of memory.

Remembering http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3160288 I just tried to save colors in a track template - no go here.

I saved and opened a Track template in Dorchester no problems. Working for me.

Of course saving and opening will work. Will you please see #1 and #5 it's more specific than that.
You need to save/open with drum maps and multiple outputs.
Were colors working for you or not?
And were you saving a project template earlier (by mistake) rather than a track template earlier so your earlier comment can now be ruled out.
 
Thanks.

Thanks fitz - it probably didn't crash because it seems to be intermittent see #5. I think maybe it's because you selected a drum map afterwards (I think it's something like a null pointer reference to the drum map).
 
It's weird colours are working for you - see #4 Are you sure you are using Dorchester?
 
Thankyou...

Weird - thanks :)

I've not used mix recall once. I notice there are a few ways to trigger a crash. Starting project - like you say next time it does work which is weird. Also opening a project and playing a note on a controller. It all triggers from creating a track template with multiple tracks, a bus and a template and then inserting such a track template into a project. It seems to happen 50% of the time.
 
The symptoms are exactly how FreeFlyBertl and sven450 describe.

FWIW, my BFD2 / BFD3 drum maps are working perfectly.

That's why I believe that this is a track template problem (loading of parts of a project) rather than a drum map issue. I also did not encouter anything strange when using drum maps pointing to AD2, K5 or external drum modules.

I've PM'd you Noel. Thanks.
I'm beginning to guess that there's something floating around in memory after closing a project (I'm not using 32 bit plugins).

This has been validated twice however by a different person - exact same symptoms, could you please move this to problem reports as per process. It is definitely a bug and not environmental. I have already politely asked hosts to move this and all I get is a comment "cannot reproduce". Argh!!
 
Just because you can't reproduce does not mean you don't have to move this. Others have reproduced exact same issue #5 and #13. So that's three people reproducing.
 
Thankyou.

Fed up with my PM's being ignored. This is not down to the problem which has been validated it's down to who is reporting it. Bad show. Bumping.

See your own ticket? I did make a request within?
 
As with Bob I just tested this with AD2 created template with Drum Map, no crash.

Will move as Noel has asked to investigate.

I fixed the issue with drum maps not loading in track templates. This is definitely NOT specific to dorchester - the original release had the same issue. It was a case of code incorrectly thinking the drum map was modified as a result it was skipping the load. I also fixed the issue of modified maps being ignored (this one was present in all prior versions of SONAR as well) Now even if a template is loaded and the referenced drum map is not found it will load with the drum map data as stored in the project file so there is no data loss.
 
Regarding the crash,  its unrelated. I'm not sure what folks are running into. Without a CWBRN number I have no way to reference a dump file. However I did run into a crash when loading a track template with a drum map and fixed it. The recipe was to load a template containing a drum map, undo and reload the template. I had a recurring crash as long as the prochannel tab was open. Not sure if this is what people were running into but its fixed as well. 

Alex/Splat/Doktor/whatever/whoever,
 
Despite the fairly large number of hours I spend in the forums, I DO sometimes have other things to do.  I first encountered this thread upon seeing a ticket that was only created today.  And while I am on average in the forums for approximately 8-12 hours a day, almost every day, after my first post to this thread around 4 hours ago, I had to go deal with some stuff on a Saturday.
 
Within a short time after seeing the ticket, and seeing that in the thread there were several cases of sometimes it crashed and sometimes it didn't, I thought I would try it out with what I normally use, which is Track Templates with Battery 3 - and which does not crash for me.  I posted my results, because it may shed some additional light on what may or may not be involved with whatever seems to be having intermittent crashes.
 
I think it a bit rude to toss a hissy because you waited not even a whole hour between asking for it to be moved and then you declared you were 'fed up' that it had not been moved.
 
 Further, in that same post, you accuse the forum hosts - or maybe just me - of deliberately not moving the thread to problem reports because of who you are.  And, you go on to insinuate that a forum host hadn't moved the thread because they couldn't reproduce.
 
I don't care what name you post under - that's your business.  I don't care that you chose to step down from duties as a forum host - that's nothing to do with me, and I certainly have never held or carried any feelings about that or about you one way or the other.  In fact, I have on 2 different occasions, stepped in and smoothed things out for you when you were in ongoing conflict with others.  
 
But, I AM a bit miffed that you took the position that you did on this thread and ticket.  I did not deserve that, and do not appreciate it.
 
I certainly have made mistakes carrying out the duties and actions of being a forum host, and I have acknowledged them when that has happened, and seek to improve in that which I do.
 
But if you think I would treat ANYONE in these forums any different than anyone else, then you never knew anything about me at all.

It was a bug. Oh well... Nice to see some passion for once. I understand that....Thumbs up... Peace and love.. Good to see you are human and yes I have plenty of respect for you... You bailed me out once and helped me..I don't ever expect you to be perfect.. And no it wasn't an hour it was several days of lobbying... As per usual... A process is a process and this should not happen and I don't hold any single individual to account. But here was my fraustation nevertheless which was valid. I guess if I was into EDM I would get a lot more width.

From whoever..
