1.01 Seems To Fix Crashing Problem
Posted: 2007-09-15 05:22:19
Sometime ago, I started a thread on the crashing problem I had with NWP. As best as I could figure out, the problem was related to imported RTF documents with a large number of foot/endnotes. At the time, the suggestion was made that I might have had "haxies" that were responsible for the problem. I never took this seriously for many reasons, not the least of which was that I tried installing NWP on a "fresh" install of OSX using a drive cloned by SuperDuper. I had the same problems even with no "haxies." At least one other user confirmed similar problems with similar documents and he had no haxies installed.
Well, I am pleased to report that whatever changes were made in 1.01, they seem to have eliminated the crashes which were happening, on average, 2 or 3 times an hour (sometimes more). I was almost about to abandon NWP, but since the new version, I have not had a single crash and the serious bugs related to moving images also seem to have been fixed. I will monitor the situation to see if this stability persists and if it does, I will feel somewhat vindicated. I don't know what was changed, but whatever it was, it seems to have done the trick. Clearly, something was not right before.
