Frozen scene manager
-
Could anyone help, please!
I'm working on a drawing & have set up one initial scene. When I came to set up a second scene the file has frozen with this message regarding thumbnails(which I don't use anyway). Between setting each scene I have been adjusting a couple of components (ceiling panels - setting them not to cast shadows) & adjusting some of the settings for the chosen style but nothing else. I've run 'cleanup' & found nothing wrong.
I will attach the file if required.
... it appears not to be file related but is triggered if I right click on the scene tab & select 'scene manager' (see attached) - there after, every new scene brings up the thumbnail message & is frozen.

I have had the same issue with the Scene Manager freezing on me. I was able to get rid of it but I had to open a new file and paste in place each of my 3 groups into the new file. After this I was able to add more than 1 scene without it freezing on me.
I have also run into an issue with saving the same file. I get a handful worth of saving to the same name before I need to change the name. If I don't it freezes and takes about 5hrs to save.
Hope this will work for you.

Thank you. I have save & rename problem also.
Comes out of nowhere. Size of scene doesn't matter either.
Someone suggested it might be permissios and it's not. -
Yes, I've been trying that myself. Further investigation has shown that is I set the scene manager to 'detail' (previously it was set to 'list') this seems to work. However, the files already effected by the problem will not re-open (the position they were last saved at being a view with complex shadows).
At present we think it could be a clash with other software. I am continuing with the project re-building from a previous model (I'll lose about 5 hours work) with these new settings & save, save, save!
In the mean time, if anyone has any other suggestions...
