In Corona v8, If I merge in RenderSettings from another file, via the File/Import/Merge from scene as you would with any object from another max file, all is fine until I click on the RenderElements tab, at which point Max crashes.  This also happened in Corona v7.  It happens in Max 2020 and 2022.

Hi, was the merged scene saved/setup with a previous Corona version?

Not necessarily, but I have been migrating up from 2020 and Corona v7.  But the issue was present in those versions also. 

I'll make a mental note of testing it on a fresh scene built in 2022 and Corona v8 and see if it repeats itself.  Not the end of the world as I can save out a render preset, but the merge in render settings is quicker and simpler to do.

Thank you for clarifying, are you rendering with IR while merging the scene? Also if you can send us a minidump from the crash, that would help greatly.

no I always stop IR before I merge anything into a scene, Xref or objects.  I learnt a while ago it can crash during IR doing that.
