Back
The point is that if XSI crashed while doing something the cursor could very
well stick to busy, even if it actually crashed. If it's just thinking the
CPU to death it will show the same exact behavior.
The only way to know if an app has crashed (and if it did it lost control of
its GUI and other things) is relying on something outside of the scope of
this potential crash , IE the OS > what Kim suggested with the taskbar.
Btw it was really hard to understand if the comment about the maya>XSI
transition was slashing sarcasm or a most rare experience of XSI being
uberstable.
But to anybody complaining about stability I'll suggest to give maya6 a go,
speak of releasing betas... :)

Heh, funny workaround. But it still doesn't tell me whether XSI
is thinking, or crashed.
Although, I see it's a bit silly of me to ask for an indicator
of whether XSI has crashed or not. It's not that it crashes often,
to the contrary, coming from Maya, I find it quite stable ;)
