I'm not sure what is going on here and will need to do some more testing.  Could you please email me a file that gives you issues with moving the channels around?

Aside from the window on top thing, these issues seem to be unique to your Aurora installation(s).  Both issues you report sound remarkably similar to issues that were already fixed in AuroraData3, which is what initially led me to wonder about the version control of that component.  It might be best to move this discussion into the beta test group where we can do some reproducability testing..

Interesting new issue.
 
Started a new sequence file.
 
Added a couple of channels, no problem.
 
I accidently pasted the same name in the add box and Aurora comes back and tells me to change the name. I do so then click save. The channel info box stays open and WILL NOT CLOSE, cancel or any thing else.
 
I had to close Aurora to make the window close.
It at least prompted me to save the file and it did so all but the last channel I was adding.
 
BTW  I do hate that the data window does not stay on top if you switch away from Aurora.

Tried something else.
 
On my first XP system:
I creataed a new file using the same silent audio file as before.
 
After creating the file I did an import of the channel info from the old file.
 
All that went well.
 
When I tried to do a bulk channel edit on 17 channels Aurora started the save then just closed with no error report.
 
On my VISTA system:
Created a new file using the same audio file.
 
When Aurora asked "Do you want to import the channel setup from another file" I answered 'Yes'.
 
Then the files to import from were presented and I selected my old file.
 
Next Aurora asked if I wanted to Import channels from file and upon saying 'Yes' I am presented with 'Import options from file'.
 
I selected 'Match channels by name only'
 
Import went fine.
 
Saved the newly imported file.
 
Opened the Bulk Channel editor and edited 7 channels and did a 'Save'
 
After the saving bar got about halfway across the followin message is displayed:
--------------------
Aurora Sequencer has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and dnotify you if a solution is available.
--------------------
 
I will now create a new file from scratch and see if I have the same bulk editor problems.

This is basically a channels file with a couple of timing marks nothing else.

I can send you a copy of it if you PM me.

If these are old files, do any of  them by chance contain circles, arches, etc. in the drawing objects?  If so you can try deleting those (the circle prototype was changed in beta 0.7).

I have done that. Aurora still crashes while editing my data file.
 
I may have made a mistake of moving some of the channels around.
 
At least I can use the Hardware manager to turn the lights on. LOL
 
Well it's getting late and I guess I'll start over tomorrow evening.

Just open the sequence, save it (to get the data into the new format), re-open it, and then begin your channel edits.

I am not sure which version I first created this data file in but the first version that I have is 0.3.0.
 
I have opened and saved this data file in each version that I have used and I have certainly lost track of how many timest that has happened. I added the bulk of the channels back around the release of 1.0 but have never had to do bulk changes like this.
 
Is there anyway to clean up this file or should I just start all over again. I have had so many hardware things throw me behind for this season that one more won't make much difference now.

Try saving the sequence and reopening it before editing it... just making sure this sequence wasn't created with an older version that needs recompiling into the new format before rearranging channels.

I went over to a brand new, no other software installed, VISTA machine and installed 1.0.32.
 
I copied my channels file over for editing.
 
It crashed Aurora on the VISTA box as well.Dead
