You are right, if I remove the plugin "XMP", there is no more crash. Thanks a lot for your help!deaddisk wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 2:45 pm Hi - good tip, now I have deleted all the files and there is no crash now. But how do I get the whole thing to work with the addons now?
My bet is the XMP plugin because it adds gazillions of sound formats to Hollywood. From the source code:
All the extensions of those formats will then end up in the file requester when opening a sound file in Designer so there is going to be a rather long pattern string for the file requester. AmiKit is probably full of patches to replace several core constituents of AmigaOS and they probably also replace asl requesters and the replacement patch probably doesn't check if the target buffer is big enough for the pattern string and it just copies it, thereby trashing memory and making Designer go belly up.
That's just my theory because I can't reproduce the problem on any of my "clean" AmigaOS installations. I'd guess this is caused by some AmiKit patches and it's not a Designer bug...
