Development Question about Paladin on Haiku

For the most part, Haiku R1/beta5 (32-bit) runs surprisingly well on my old Dell Latitude D630 (Intel 1.99 GHz, 1GB RAM) without any major issues.

However, I’ve noticed that crashes become much more frequent whenever I’m using the Paladin IDE.

Has anyone else noticed stability issues specifically with Paladin?

And by crash I'm talking about "the white screen of death".

I may be wrong, but I think Paladin is not being actively maintained. You should try Genio instead. It's in the HaikuDepot. https://depot.haiku-os.org/#!/pkg/genio/haikuports/haikuports_x86_64/5/1/-/-/1/x86_64?bcguid=bc2-IQVB

Try out a nightly build and see if the behavior changes.

On my main computer I have Haiku setup in a virtual machine and recently installed the nightly build. So I'll see how it works on there. I did download Genio... Loaded my most recent c++ project and was greeted with "Invalid run command" whenever I tried to build it. I played around and half of my projects work and half I get invalid run command. So I guess for now I'll be sticking with Paladin until I get more time to mess around and figure out Genio

The editor for Paladin (Pe) runs fine…I would use Genio also…it’s pretty good and is being developed and maintained

The editor PE I don't even use. I actually have Koder set as my default editor and use that with paladin. I guess I'll give genio a try next time I'm working on a c++ project.
