Particles and lead time

I didn't find an entry regarding this topic yet, so Ima just puts it up here innit.
I set my particles up as snow. Slowly falling down the screen. Romantic. Since whenever I'd enter that scene - it would start at 0 and gradually spawn particles from the top, as if it had just started.
So I added a value to lead time.
But when I enter the scene now, a bunch of snow particles fly in from the left (asif a movie assistant would throw a bucket of them in from the side) following a little pause.. and then snow that started from 0 again.

All I can say is that anytime I experiment with particle system, Visionaire sooner or later crashes. Like everytime, don't know why..

Oh okay, mine doesn't ..thanks god. Little tricky.

don't know if it's same as one on old 2d wiki?

Same I think. I don't know why the particles fly in from the left, when no positioning has been given to them. Actually their start is in the center of the scene over the screen giving them space to spread and fall. They are se up as "are" with gravity towards the bottom.

Did you assign the particle to a scene object? I think you control the position & z-depth of the particles, that way? To be honest I have not really delved into the particle system much at all.

@gusty: maybe it is a bit more stable in the upcoming release... as I've mentioned a few times already - 3.7.1 is quite buggy & is prone to throwing random hissy fits.

I have only assigned it to the scene in general. Maybe I will just throw in some extra time and play a bit more with the values and variables. Thanks anyway Mr. Lee
