if i test on 2.1.1 that's works No error. but pinup still doesn't close the Zedmd correctly and the same goes for Pin2dmd, the image remains displayed until a new table is launched, and only on Altcolor.

You may want to try one of the snapshot release from : https://ci.appveyor.com/project/freezy/dmd-extensions/builds/50030013

(Also issued a very new PR #493 to get snapshot builds directly in GitHub).

[gustavoalara]

Hi @ojacques

I just tested these snapshot and now the dmdext play command works correctly

Thanks a lot

[VincentMolinie]

Hi @ojacques,

Could you do a release with the fix or put a link to the installer with the fix here 👼 ?
