This is something I safely assume would defeat most, if not all, associated crashes.
The crashes seem to mainly occur when proper parameters are not set. Example; I set the duration to 30, hitting a grab button after changes it will default it to .05 sec., this will crash. If you're not remembering to correct it you're constantly starting over from crashes. This is very unforgiving.
For the unknowing;
Most programming software/language will return error codes when one arises (preaching to the choir), if programmed, when triggered, a popup box will appear stating the error (default by #), this will halt the script and give options to make a correction before continuing to a crash, then restart the script to run through, until no errors, to the end/execution.
Most error codes need a text assignment to the error #, I use this in a table container (some prefer other types of container, or from file) its then found by error # association, this builds the popup box info and options.
Programming this as one of the first sequences, running through a checklist global algorithm, in the Save, Go To Start, and Play Shot button scripts would head-off many crashes.
I find there is little to no error reporting setup. The user also learns from these popup boxes. It would also add some intuitivity.
I do not consider this a big project, even though I think the ship has sailed for this needed fix.
I love being wrong. Every time I'm wrong I learn.
Once you learn the FV it's a great tool, but it needs this to limit the agony and discouragement of fully using it properly.
