Hi Charles,

If you could please write a bug report and attach a crash log, we'll look into it. I have successfully written a small number of markers to a CAF file...

Thanks,

I have found one mention from 3 years ago, where the developer had similar results reading, as to what I am seeing with writing - in so far as only the first marker of the first region is reliably accessible.

This happens unless I use a very small quantity of regions and markers. The debugger shows the exact place where AudioFileSetProperty falls over as either "CFStringGetLength" or "CAFRegion_NtoB(CAFRegion*)".
