     \item[Always show next frame] \index{always show next frame} in this mode the insertion pointer reflects the same as the Compositor so that for playing forward, the result is what looks like 1 was added to the frame displayed in the Compositor window.  This is fully explained in another section (\nameref{sub:playing_seeking}).

     \item[Set Input Focus when window entered] \index{set input focus} this is checked on by default because on some operating system distros, when you move your mouse to a different window, nothing happens and you are left wondering why you can not enter information.  When checked this causes the input focus to shift to any \CGG{} window when the cursor enters an exposed region of the window which eliminates the need to switch input focus by tabbing.

        \item If the rate at which frames are captured during Recording is much lower than the framerate of the source, the video will accumulate in the recording buffers over time and the audio and video will become out of sync. Decrease the number of frames to buffer in the device in \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow $ Preferences, Recording} tab so that the excess frames are dropped instead of buffered.
        \item If loading files locks up, this might be because \CGG{} is building picons/vicons for the Resources window. If you load a large number of images it needs to decompress every single image to build a picon/vicon. Go into \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Preferences, Appearance} tab and disable \textit{Use thumbnails in resource window} to skip this process. Keep in mind though, that it only has to create these thumbnails the first time a new piece of media is loaded or the values are changed.
+       \item After a crash, look on the window where you started running \CGG{} to see if there is a line towards the end of the output that reads something like a bunch of numbers followed by the word "AssetVIconThread".  Frequently this indicates that some system resouce has been exhaused in creating/running the Vicon images in the Resources window.  You can disable \textit{Use thumbnails in resource window} in Settings/Preferences, Appearace tab to see if this resolves the crashing.  In most cases when this is the cause, it will be the second to last line shown in the window.
+In addition, you might want to \textit{Delete clip thumbnails} in the Interface
+tab section of Settings/Preferences.
        \item For an older computer with less CPU power, in \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Preferences, Appearance} tab, be sure that \textit{Autocolor assets }is disabled; set \textit{View thumbnail size} \& \textit{Vicon quality}\& \textit{Vicon color mode} to lower values or switch to \textit{No Play} instead of \textit{Full Play} in the Resources window (this is to the right of the word \textit{Visibility} in the left hand side of that window). You will then have more CPU and more memory available to do actual editing.
