Apparently Bryce cannot save a file that has an image imported whose filename is over a certain number of characters. I ran up against this problem, saved the file shorter in Paint Shop Pro on a hunch, and Bryce now runs fine. Anyone else found this problem in Bryce5.0? Or am I rehashing old problems that everyone else already knows about?

I think the 32 character limit has been around since Bryce 4.0. (If not earlier.) Usually it's not the biggest problem, but it does come up every now and then.

i'm not going to talk about bryce..i just had to delete a file because i could no longer open it with bryce, it got to 62% then bryce would say sorry but i'm a useless piece of dog dung and can't go any further... Back to using bryce 5.5 for storage again.

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

The thing is, that's a known bug. But IIRC, it's the matter of path and name together being over a certain number of characters. I seem to recall the number as 255, but it might be quite smaller.

There's a similar bug using photo textures that have long file names. I stick to 8.3 now.

drawbridgep, Ah! So when bryce keeps crashing when I use some textures but not others... even if the texture and a cube is all there is in Bryce... it could have been THAT bug? I never thought of that. I must look into that. Thanks.
