When I try to get an adjusted photo(larger than about 640x400 24bit)
Back to PSP 7.04 I get the following:
FilterMeister Run-Time Exception: memory access violation
plus what seem to be register contents.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
shallman

I have been hearing about similar, but somewhat different problems about FocalBlade 1.01 lately. However, I didn't manage to reproduce them. I just tried FocalBlade 1.01 on a 1024x768 image in PSP 7.04 and it works without a problem on my machine. I can't fix a problem that I can't reproduce on my computer.
What Windows version do you use? XP Pro or XP Home?

Harald-
Am using windows 98.
The problem seems cumulative somehow. I just tried 400x400 solid black
24 bit and got the error. I'm sure I've done larger that this earlier. 200x200
works so far.

I will try to find out what is causing these memory errors, but with these few and inconsistent reports and without being able to repoduce the probelm it is difficult. Someone even reported that he had these problems and that they now completely vanished.
Anyway, I'll probably add an option in the next update to deactivate processing in tiles. That will certainly fix the problem, but dissallow the processing of very large images with little RAM.

I heard from two people that completely removing FocalBlade and reinstalling Version 1.01 solved the problem. They didn't get any memory error messages anymore.
Please let me know if it helped.

Yep, reinstalling did it. I just did a 3000x800 with no problem.
There are several differences in the .ini files between the old
installation and the new one.
Thanks much,

I thought that maybe the FocalBlade.ini from Version 1.0 would interfere with Version 1.01, but my tests didn't show a problem. Anyway, seems that it causes a problem on some systems. However, the format of the file didn't change since Version 1.0.
Anyway, if anyone has this problem, please delete the FocalBlade.ini file from the FocalBlade folder and the problem will vanish.
Same message (reproducable)

Hello everybody,
I get the same message:
FilterMeister Run-Time Exception: memory access violation
But only when I try to filter a selection. The message comes up upon calling focalblade, and again after cancelling the dialog and trying to OK the filter. When I don't make a selection (and thus filter the entire image) it proceeds ok.

I know. It is a bug in FocalBlade 1.02. There will be a new Version 1.02b available at the end of the week that will fix that problem as well as several other things.
