Other know bugs:

  • Moving or deleting hundreds of emitters at once is really slow

Yeah, the way the program keeps track of emitters is really inefficient, which means that dealing with many at once takes a lot of time. This isn't a huge deal because that many emitters would probably crash the game too. And the program should eventually delete them all - I timed 94 seconds to delete a full map of emitters.
If the program actually crashes instead of just hanging for a while, well, that is a bug and I don't know how to fix it.

Seeing how CW2 is out, I'm going to stop working on the editor. However, a new version might appear if:
1) Sudden inspiration strikes me for something really cool
2) Someone requests a specific feature in order to make a map, and I'm able to implement that feature.
3) Someone finds a serious, I-can't-use-the-program-anymore bug.

There's also a bundle available with CW1 + CW2 for just $15, so you may get more new users anyway. :)
