I don't know if I am the only person but the this program seems extremely buggy to me even more so then the original WinDinkEdit. For example while using it to develop a dmod after about 10 minutes it begins to get graphic glitches like the menu bar disappearing the buttons on the menus going black and also slowing down and sometimes crashing. Also there is problems with looking at the hardness tiles I got this problem only once and I am not sure if just related to the first problem or was a standalone problem. Anyways the other annoying thing was the WinC editor. After using it to edit a start file saving became impossible since I supposedly did not have access to the file it said. Amazingly though exiting the program pops a message asking if I want to save changes and it does it then. Also it took about 10 trys for it to finally stop asking for me to define where the dinksmallwood directory was, Even though I defined the path many times.

There is some very good though behind this program. It launches the dmod successfully and doesn't crash something the old windinkedit did. Also I like its hardness features much better. WinC is an awesome Idea which i wished worked. AutoSaving is also an amazingly good idea. Snap to Grid is awesome. I like many of the new features and idea and I am almost tempted to use the program spit the bugs but having to restart the program every ten minutes because the menu disappears and the whole program slows to halt stops me from giving it a better rating!
