That's a good reason, right.<br>
But then even in beta is a potential risk of applications crashing when loading a module and on startup when the module is automatically loaded because it still is stored in the session.<br>
We can make sure that every module in beta does at least load correctly on the front ends.<br>

A flag placed as the last thing done at successful shutdown of the program and checked and removed before loading a session could be used to prompt the user that the saved session may have problems and ask to skip it, so avoiding another crash.<br>
</blockquote></div>There are some modules which may crash when trying to access them. These are unlikely to ever be in beta, as these are experimental (for a good reason). Saving the session may help, but if the application accesses all modules on startup, it may still crash.<br>
<br>A module in beta is no more likely to crash than a module in the main repository (in fact, it probably is less likely to, as it will be a revision of a pre-existing module)<br><br clear="all">God Bless,<br>Ben<br>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
