Today when I tried to download a plate, Skydemon (PC, v3.4.0.5 on W7 64-bit) hangs when downloading the plate.  The "Downloading plate" window appears, but it loops continuosly downloading the plate again and again:

The only way I can stop the infinite loop is to try to kill the little window if I'm fast enough clicking the close button, or to disable the network (or kill SkyDemon). 

Having killed the downloading window, it appears that the plate has downloaded OK, so it appears green in the plate list, and if I try to open it, it doesn't try to download it again.  But any time I try to open a plate that hasn't previously been downloaded, it loops forever, apparently downloading the plate over and over again.

I tried removing SkyDemon, all user data from C:\Users\<username>\Documents\SkyDemon and plates from C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Divelements Limited and reloading SkyDemon 3.4.0 and the problem persists - infinite looping whenever it downloads a plate.

I then reloaded v3.3.2 (without deleting any user data) and it works fine.  The Android version of 3.4 also works fine for me. 

A problem with the PC version of 3.4, or am I doing something wrong?

I do not have the problem described, but that may be because I am still running Windows XP.

Are you using SkyDemon 3.4 on your PC, or version 3.3.2.4?

Mmmmmm. I thought I was using SD v3.4, but it appears that I am still using v3.3.2.4. Why did I think this? Because in the past whenever I've opened up SD and I'm running a version that has been superseded, SD has always offered me the option to install the update, but so far, I've not been offered any update, so I assumed I was using the latest version (regardless of what my signature indicates, which I sometimes forget to update for a while). I hope that makes sense.

In view of what I've read in this thread, I will NOT be updating to v3.4 if offered it, until the problem has been fixed.
