I've tried to install the latest version (V0.2 Release 64) but get the error message "The cabinet file 'disk1.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package."
I don't think it's my PC (which is running 64bit Vista, in case that's important) as the previous version installed with no problems.

First of all, I'm all new to this little gem. I appreciate your work on this so far. However I have some ideas for improvement and even a bug (shame on you ;) ).
Bug: A starting delay in a loop is not saved. When I close the editing of a scene and reopen it the starting delay is always set to zero.
On improvements let me suggest the following to you:
- In the openfiledialog let the user select multiple files. For example I wanted to create a sewer scene with multiple different kind of drops, dripples and so on. I had to add a new sample for each manually. I think it might improve the usability if you let the user select multiple file and create a sample for each file automatically.
- An other idea might be to save the window size of a scene-editing window on closing.
- A thing i realy miss is to export the sound/music files as a single archive (or similar). Reason is to use softrope on different machines or burn a CD of the whole scene. For the buring i would suggest to let the user decide how many minutes he wants to have of this scene and then generate a single file (mp3 for instance).
I hope you keep up the great work.

Thanks for letting me know.
Every new user is another reason to sit down at the computer and do some more work on Softrope!
I'm moving house a week on Thursday! Looking forward to my own office and having a computer at home!

Hi Iain.
As a new member (though I discovered Softrope earlier this year) I wanted to thank you very much for a great, user-friendly program to bring more life to all forms of storytelling. Well done! Fantastic!
I originally came across it when looking for ways of incorporating music into D&D sessions with my friends. I was immediately taken by the ease-of-use, and spent countless hour searching for, and downloading, free sound effects of all sorts, and finally finding a use for my movie soundtrack CD's (other than my own listening enjoyment).
I am unfortunately a layman computer user, and have no clue how difficult it is to create these sort of programs, but, if I may, I'd like to give a tentative suggestion to the interface. Would it be possible to create:
-a way to make separate columns, tabs, or an other form of division, which allows the scenes to be divided into groups?
This way scenes that are relevant in the moment could be displayed, while others could be reached quickly by switching to another tab. De-cluttering the Softrope window, if you like.
What do you think?
THANK YOU again for the great program. Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to reading about new progress, and future brain-storming.
P.S. Best of wishes to living in your new house.

Grouping things into categories would be great. On an iOS device I'd imagine swiping pages or something similar. Not sure what the desktop metaphor would be.
For now though you can just launch multiple copies of Softrope and handle it that way.
