Bug 1: Time Stretch Sound File Exceptions on Windows 2000

When stretching a mono file the following exceptions occur -

ch.laoelib.AudioException: cannot create read/write memory mapped channel to temporary processing fileC:\Documents and Settings\someuser\AudioTemp.1125364154496:

WorkAround 1

Windows 2000 (and maybe some other Windows versions), won't supply the requested memory to Java, even when it exists on the system. You need to use a smaller file to stretch. Maybe this is fixed in Windows XP or later.

Status 1

Have tried to be as memory friendly as possible. These improvements will arrive in the 2.3.3 auto update. It is not possible to work around this Windows bug for a full size file.

Bug 2: Linux unicode paste bug

Instead of pasting as -

לָשׁוּב

this word pastes as -

This occurs only on Linux.

WorkAround 2

Use the True Type font, as described in Online Help - Linux.

Status 2

On hold.

Bug 3: On Some Windows XP Systems (eg Dutch) the launcher fails

I use Dutch WinXP SP3. Every time I start FoundationStone 4.0 I receive -

Application Failure in foundationstone.exe

0.0.0.0 at offset 00019cc1

Event ID: 1000

WorkAround 3

A rare bug in the JSmooth Java Launcher. It seems likely that this problem is caused by missing Windows DLLs. Use the foundationStone40.cmd batch script instead (although you get a messy DOS window). Alternatively, run a DLL repair utility such as DLL Nerd on your PC. I've discussed this with the developer of JSmooth.

Status 3

No plans to fix at this stage, 32bit JSmooth seems to have made it OK into 64bit Windows.
