The null ptr error may not be relate to being unable to edit timelines. I have those but can edit timelines.

I've had ui issues like that when updating the dialogic files without first disabling the plugin, or sometimes I need to delete the import files in the .Godot folder, to refresh the addon after downloading a newer version.

The nullptr seems to be a problem with regex on archlinux that should be fixed for godot 4.1 (godotengine/godot#76174).

I'm not sure why you cannot edit timelines though. When exactly are you getting these errors? When you press the "Create Timeline" button?

[Jowan-Spooner]

@erikbgithub are you still having these problems with godot 4.1 and the main dialogic branch?

If you can't test this or reproduce this I'd like to close this issue as it is likely outdated.

[Jowan-Spooner]

I'll close this for now. If the same errors occur again, we can reopen this.
