I am running the demo of cyclops on a Mac Book Pro 2.16 GHz Intel 

Core Duo (built in iSight) and have the two following behaviours:

I add the cyclops object, open the help file, click 'settings' and 

the max/msp crashes. I have the crash log, but can't find a suitable 

support channel for cyclops to send the crash log on cycling 74's 

website. I'll post it here if that is the done thing - but it is long.

(2) When I plug in an external firewire isight:

the built in isight light greens-up, and we have action. Go into the 

'settings' and try and change the source to the external isight, the 

selection is active, but springs immediately back to the built in 

Additionally, is Cyclops supported in the same way as max/msp and 

jitter with tutorial files and samples? I am in the process of 

evaluating it to recommend it to students who haven't used max before.

Thanks for reading, any help would be great as my demo days are

Of course not; that would be a Bicyclops.

This is true, although it shouldn't crash. I'm looking into it.

I've tried interting the cyclops instance, open help, and delete the 

patch instance, switch back to help, click settings and the crash 

still happens. I'm sure the instance is still 'instantiated'.

I sent the crash log - but it has got lost in moderation.

Do you have to instances of cyclops open? If so, this is a known bug, 

which is fixed for the next upgrade. Thanks for your patiente.

possible?

It works for me (same computer). Try the following:
- start max (quit before, if needed)
- open cyclops.help directly
- press on the settings message

Great! No crash here! So its the same bug, that two instances cant be 

open, even though i closed first the first instance?

I've posted new versions of Cyclops 1.x at the following locations:

- There is a new warning when more than 1 Cyclops object is 

instantiated, telling the user that one of their objects won't work.

- Asking for various video functions (e.g. Settings) on the non- 

initialized (e.g. 2nd) object doesn't crash anymore.
