AutoFX plugins: temperamental, but working

[GroWeb]

This is particularly for Rich, who is an AutoFX Gel afficianado.

For reasons beyond my understanding, I find the AutoFX Dreamsuite filters are suddenly working for me in Xara Xtreme. Once they have been applied, the object they are applied to can no longer be altered in any way without Dreamsuite trying to run again, the Dreamsuite effect disappearing, and Windows complaining that the Dreamsuite program has malfunctioned. If the object is messed with a second time, Xtreme crashes. The only way around this is to delete the effect, make alterations to the object, then reapply the effect.

For the attached image, I applied Dreamsuite Dreamy Photo and Mosaic to two different copies of a quickshape (with a four-colour fill), overlayed another feathered copy, and applied transparency effects to all, except an underlying original.
