Another great work. Of course.

1st I like the idea of the plugin and then when I tried to load it, BBClean crashed!
bbKeys-1.8 need it in Xoblite, but not in BBClean, or the others branches, is this right?

For me, the plugin loads without problems on all shells - including the 0802 bbClean - on Win2k, WinXP & Vista.

The plugin basically allows you to hook into various things that the bb4win shells have long been capable of. Thus it seems surprising that it is causing your system to crash. As it says in both the posts & the documentation, to run any of the new bro@ms on bbClean (or any of the non-xoblite shells), you need to put @bb4win (instead of @bbCore) at the front, otherwise the bro@m won't work.

As you say, bbKeys 1.80 will run fine on bbClean without bbCore.

Can you tell me a little bit more about your setup?

I'm gonna unload all plugins, then load bbCore to see what plugin is causing this crash, but not now, tomorrow I'll give you an answer, is time to sleep for me.

It's BBMuse and BBBalloon the ones that gives me problem with bbCore.I am using BBMuse and BBFooman together, maybe this is not compatible, but without bbCore loaded they work fine.
I am using bbClean built at Mar 1 2008

bbMuse crashes - all by itself - Blackbox when bbCore is loaded.

bbBalloon & bbFooman seem to run all right on bbbClean 0802 - although I'm not set up for music use on them. Most of the other plugins you are running look non-contentious.

Nothing seems obvious on bbMuse, but I'll try to have a look at it in the next few days.

Maybe I should stay only with bbFooman, but then I loose the tranparent title of the song corrent playing.

Virtually every bb4win plugin with Transparency has been buggy. When the transparency release(s) of bbLeanSkinMod were posted, I was expecting frequent crash reports. It has been a very pleasant surprise that this seems not to have happened.

I'll see whether anything comes up clearly on bbMuse.

If you still have trouble with bbBalloon, you could try bbOSD. At a glance, it seems to give you much the same functionality - but I haven't looked into all the detail.

I use bbBallon in conjunction with Process Controller which give me when a program start/end, I like to see what's happen in the background. bbBalloon shows me any message that popup in the tray in it's window. The tray is in bbIconBox.

bbCore don't work with bbtcl. Every call of tcl procedure crashes my bbLean_mod.

Thanks for reporting this issue. I will try to track down what in bbCore is causing this issue. In the meantime, the main posts for bbCore will be flagged to mention this incompatibility.

Maybe I was wrong and bbCore is incompatible with bbinterface or even with bbLeanMod. Because even unloading of tcl-bb couldn't help.
