I've found some time to play with Lab again, trying out some ideas and all I get are exceptions, crashes to desktop and everything in between! Things that work suddely all turn into red lines, sub graphs breaking down and things just not working as expected.. frustrating to say the least!

So is it me or is this just the general beta expirence at the moment?

btw.. would it be helpfull if the exception-text would be submitted automatically together with the graph file? Or is that to little info to trace back what went wrong?

Good to hear you have some time to work with Lab and your input is greatly appreciated. Personally, it has been relatively stable for me in my local tests, much more so over the past few versions. But then again, if I see a bug I can fix it :)

Exceptions and crashes to desktop are a priority. Please log and report them whenever you experience them. There is no automated way for that yet. Perhaps if you have a means to record the screen with something like Camtasia you can keep it rolling while you try to create something and in case there is a crash it would be documented?

Any reproducible steps would be greatly appreciated and we are fixing things over here as they come. My main point is, all in all please be patient and log whatever you find.

Attached a screencapture of what goes wrong. Trying to make a subgraph that does something with each polygon of a mesh.

Thanks a lot for the video. There are certainly a number of issues there which I'll try to fix for the next build.

Nice!  I forget to mention, after the first few errors it becomes quite unstable. You can see that when I drag out the polygon node at 1m:11s. When you save it at that moment the saved file will usually be broken too.

Let me know if you need anymore info!
