I found some kind of a bug when I pressed start conversion, I don't know if it's related to the folder being on the E drive
This is while leaving output folder empty, if I put the same folder where the midis are manually on the output folder it DOES work
Cheers

No it's not; it's my fault: some debug code left behind... again :(
Just published beta5 with a fix ;) (see first post)
Thanks

Ok, everything seems to work fine in all these days I've been trying it
Except for that sometimes it randomly crashes, this happens at least once everyday
It seems to happen when I've had open/minimized the configurator window for quite some time (up to several hours), then I scroll for like 1 second on the soundfont chain and VMS closes on it's own/crashes
As I said this crash seems more or less consistant and before I wasn't sure werever to report it here or not but since it's kinda consistant I though it might be important to tell you at least
Cheers

With minimized you mean "kept open but reduced on the taskbar only"?
Is the crash always just after the soundfont list scroll?
Does it crash silently or are you asked to generate a crash dump?

Should be great to know if this crash is related to 2.9.0 or it happened (maybe lot less more) in 2.8.0 too...
If the bug is caused by soundfont list (which changed in 2.9.0), then I suppose the former.
Could you downgrade to 2.8.0 and confirm it?

I usually do this check just before packing the final setup.
Thanks for reporting it, anyway ;)

Good news, I've found a way to easily reproduce the crash, just hold the scrolling bar with the mouse on the soundfont chain and the quickly move it up and down (you need some minimun amount of soundfonts to scroll) and it WILL crash within a few seconds, it's easier to crash it the more soundfonts on the list there are: (this godamn page doesn't give the gif file anymore to post directly here) https://gfycat.com/tautgrayfreshwatereel

Doesn't seem to matter as I just said up there

Because I've found how to reproduce it I don't think it will be necesary, but I will do it if you really need me to do so :)

Your help was really priceless, thank you very much!
I was able to find a GDI resources handles leak in some of the custom controls, mostly in soundfont list: each time the control was repainted, a lot of handles were leak and, once the total number of GDI handles reaches the process limit (10000) the process crashed.
Now it was fixed, together with some other minor font/brushes/DC leaks. VMS is now leak-free ;)
Ready for the final 2.9.0 in a few hours, stay tuned...
