VARS crashing a lot

[mkbassett]

Hi,

VARS has crashed a lot today.

It crashed when:

• I tried to take a frame grab. It sounds like Kyra was having this problem with tapes as well yesterday.
• I opened the preferences to make sure the frame grab settings were correct.
• It says it crashes when I manually close the app.

VARS is also started loading all of the annotations for an entire dive after lunch today. I'm working on tape 6 of a dive and all annotations from previous tapes are showing up with the yellow lightning bolts.

Attached are the logs from VARS- Lonny showed me how to collect them for this ticket.

Let me know if you need anything else! vars-annotation-01.log vars-annotation.20200625.log vars-annotation-00.log

@mkbassett Kyra said version 0.5.1 was working for her with framecapture for tapes. Try that version from http://m3.shore.mbari.org/apps and see if it works for you.

To fix the issue where all the annotations are appearing, try this:

1. Merge the dive you're working on so annotations get timestamped correctly
2. Open each tape in VARS. When you close VARS or open a different tape/video, VARS will correctly set the start time and duration of a tape based on the annotation data. That should make the overlapping annotations disappear, unless the dive had the timecode reset during the dive. In that case there's not much I can do.
