Buon giorno Enzo,

This is a regression in build 237. It is nothing important and will be fixed today; I'll let you know when I upload a new version.

The problem is in a new improved memory management routine that we have implemented in this build. Sometimes we improve something and break other things... just as in the real life

Thank you for alerting us about this. I appreciate your help very much.

Hi Enzo and all users,

I have just uploaded a transitional version that fixes this problem and a total of 18 bugs more. Here is a direct link to the updated installation package:

http://pleiades-astrophoto.com/export/PI32-win-01.00.08.238rc2-sfx-20070114.exe

The main bugs fixed are:

A problem with the new memory manager when deleting previews. This included the direct deletion of one or more previews, closing an image with some previews defined, and navigating the processing history of an image when one or more history items involved the creation/deletion of previews.

A problem with the PixelMath process, which was leaving the target image locked for writing when an error happened during compilation of a PixelMath expression.

A potentially dangerous problem in geometric processes that change the dimensions of the image (Resample, IntegerResample, Rotate, DynamicCrop, etc).

An error in the core FFT algorithms that was causing problems with the JavaScript Image.FFT() and Image.inverseFFT() methods.

Thank you for your patience and continued support.
