Hello,
the probem is, that QLC+ 4.12.1 and the older Version 4.11.. under Raspberry 3
crashes after I try to start the QLC+ webpage with a big workfile (approx. 1.5MB).
Also it is not possible to load the big workfile via the webpage loader.
On both matter the QLC+ GUI disappears and it shows the linux terminal screen.
With an older version of the workfile (less 1Mb) there is no such problem.
Is there a restriction on the size of a workfile?

With friendly regards
Axel

Hi, does the same project load correctly on a PC?
Any chance to share the project file so that I can test as well?

Hello Massimo,
please could you take a look of our "big " workfile ?
Perhaps you have a solution or a hinr for this problem.
The workfile and the fixtures are already uploaded.
Like I already wrote, the workfile runs under Win7 and Win8 without any problems.
The Background of all is that every citizen can use the lighting system for his celebrations in our club house. Therefore, the operation and the handling of the light control should be made as simple as possible. The possibility of using a Raspberry Pi and QLC+ would be a good step in this direction.

Thanks in advance
Yours sincerely
Axel

Hi, sorry for the delay.
I've finally being able to take a look at this.

I've reproduced the crash on the RPi and, interestingly enough, the crash happens on a desktop version too (I tried on Linux), but only via web interface!
Loading the file from within QLC+ doesn't crash.
So now I can reproduce the issue and will work on a fix.

The workaround for you is to "pre-load" the project in the RPi on the SD card and set the project to be loaded at boot (see provided PDF to know how)

I found the cause.
Apparently you have a Solo Frame named "QUICK SETUP SELECTION" (2 pages) with some widgets on page 3!
I think at some point you delete a page and for some reason QLC+ didn't delete the widgets on the deleted page.

I'll apply a fix, but you can open the project, add one page to that frame, delete the 2 buttons in it and then delete the page again. Should work.
