Documentation, FAQ, Crash and Error reporting...

[admin]

Hi all,

Here is a list of helpful resources about bidule:

• Official Bidule online manual : http://www.plogue.com/bidule/help/
• The (old) Unofficial Bidule User's FAQ : http://www.mts.net/~mathers/FAQ_Index.html
• Bidule-Users forum search engine : http://www.plogue.com/phpBB2/search.php

Also bidule crashes are MUCH easier to diagnose if we get a copy of the log file thats created (and overwritten) each time bidule starts

on Windows : the file is in the directory where Bidule is installed
on OS X : the file is in <HOME>/Library/Application Support/Plogue/Bidule

OS X users should also send the crash log located in
<HOME>/Library/Logs/CrashReporter

Also of great interrests is some details on how we could reproduce the crash.

Other questions you should ask yourselves:
Is it systematic? does it appear randomly?
Was I using some VST or group ive never tried before?

Cheers

Hi,
I got the demo 8.5, downloaded it on a PC and installed it on my new powerbook. This was on teusday 20th of september. Now when opening the program it says it will expire on the 27th (!) of september??? that's a 7 day trial..
i allready ordered the registration key, so it shouldn't be an issue, just thought i'd let you know..

Every release's demo has a fixed date at which it will expire. If you download as soon as it's available you have longer time to play with the demo. If you download a day before the expiration date, you will have only one day to play.

Hello,
just got bidule a few days ago and am digging in the tutorials and all the cool layouts. Really happy so far.
Just one question: is the old FAQ available somewhere else now?

This link is dead: http://www.mts.net/~mathers/FAQ_Index.html

Cheers!

Maybe Kerrydan could drop in? Otherwise we'll ask him if he has moved the files somewhere.

The old tutorials can be retrieved via the wayback machine on archive.org
