Hello,
 
I am creating animations with Explorer and have some strange problems with
the Render module. The images that I have generated with the Render module
are written to disk by hooking up the Snapshot port to the WriteImg module.
Each time a picture of the animation is produced in the Render window
I fire the snapshot port and a picture is written to disk. However, not the
picture that is shown in the Render window is written out but the previous
picture. The result of all this is that my first picture of the animation is
rubbish and the last picture is missing. To me this looks like a problem
with some buffers or so but could somebody help me out ?

We have recently discovered this problem using Starter graphics on an Indigo
in double buffer mode.  The workaround is to use single buffer mode; we are
working on a fix for the next release.

If you are using different graphics, please let us know.
