update KS 8.1 extreamly buggy

[germannick]

Since I updated to KS8.1.59 I ran into two mayor issues:

1: Opening KS7.3.40 files will crash KS8.1.59 instantly. Opening KS8.1.59 first and using the open and/or Import option will also crash the KS.  Older Versions than KS7.3.40 open without a problem in KS8.1.59
2: Rendering in the background ignores the color map of most materials. This is not the case if I render the same image as default.

One bug sneaked its way into 8.1.59 that could affect certain files with certain foreign characters in the path names. This has been fixed and you can update to 8.1.61 (use check for updates or download it directly). Sorry about this inconvenince.

Sweet, issue no. one is resolved with the 8.1.61 update (even though there were no special characters in the path name or file name.

Issue no 2 remains. See attached Images. The zinc color maps will not get rendered when processed in the Background.
