    I don't know if this bug is known, but I just created some 160x160
    pixel icons with ShowGirl0.5 and while showing those icons MorphOS
    often crashes.

    Here are the icons, just decrunch them to RAM:
    CLICK

    Then open the "icon_test"-directory in Ambient... best way to make it
    freeze fast is to resize the window while the icons still load... but
    even without doing so Ambient freezes after a while playing around
    with the icons!

    Anyone can confirm that?

    hmm... did not crashed here or something. worked nicely. Opened your test drawer a few times... no problems.


    but just make sure you don't have _too_ much files in one directory. :-)


    and i strongly suggest to use a template and make the thumbnails a bit smaller... that will look better then.

    Works perfectly fine here.
    And yes, they load up too fast.. its impossible to try resizing window while they load.

    try playing a bit around, maximize the window to your full desktop
    size, then sort the icons, move the drawer around etc., then it will
    freeze sooner or later... I could reproduce it every time and my
    MorphOS isn't messed up, so I doubt it only occurs here!

    I have a Peg2/G3...

    Couldn't reproduce it... I resized the window to full desktop, used the sort command, moved icons, copied icons,... I also tried to play with icon size of Ambient prefs: no freeze.

    Peg1/G3.

    Btw, where can I find full size versions of these pics ? ;)

    I just tried again twice and I always get a freeze... sometimes while I resize the window, sometimes a bit later... what could be the cause?
    I would appreciate if you try it 2-3 times, so we can see if this is a MorphOS issue or just something wrong on my system... btw. I use a Radeon 7500, could also be a graphics driver problem...

    it run perfectly here.
    it's better if you reinstall the OS or check the mcc class you installed-substiuted.

    it doesn't freeze every time, but most times... so if you all tried
    2-3 times and it worked, then its a problem here... but which files
    are involved in Ambient icon image decoding?
