This one gets me nearly every time.....

It's not a bug but more of a what we call "PICNIC" - Problem In Chair, Not In Computer...... i.e the User!

1) Busy time segmenting clouds
2) Better do a save.... highlight the top of the tree
3) Click Save
4) Then go back to segmenting
5) Ah No! the top level is still selected - CC invariably crashes with a segmentation error as it tries to segment every entity....
6) I smile, because I know I've just saved the file.

It would be great if after a Save everything is unselected so that segmentation isn't possible and the PICNIC doesn't occur !

Dooh ! I just did it again.....

:(

Ah :) It wouldn't be too hard to deselect the entities indeed.

But I'm a bit concerned about the crash thing... It shouldn't crash :D. Especially since the number of entities shouldn't matter.

For the records I just modified the code so as to deselect all entities on a (successful) save. It will be the default behavior for the next version.
