Animation issues/suggestions

Some things that broke my brain, which could be clarified.

I stumbled on RealWorld Paint completely by accident, having used PhotoResize for ages. I absolutely love the animation features and support, and I cannot believe I hadn't known of this feature-rich, free program sooner!

However, there were 2 things I came across that I spent a little too long on to figure out:

1) When trying to morph the last frame of an animation, it always pops up an error saying "The attempted operation failed with error code 0x80004005. Please verify that there is enough free memory and that the configuration of the operation is correct." A more clear error would have come in handy.

2) There doesn't seem to be any apparent or obvious way to set the duration of multiple frames at once. There is no button for it or anything. This almost made me ditch the program, before I gave it one last try and tried every possible idea and keyboard combination I could think of, finally stumbling upon the answer of selecting the frames and simply typing whatever number to turn them all into (which seems to apply to just the first frame while typing, but then applies to all the selected frames upon submitting). Once you know, it's ridiculously straightforward, but there probably should've been a button to activate and do the same.

Now knowing these two things, I will definitely keep using the program! I already started recommending it to others. But I think clarifying either of those things would really help new users in particular.

The morph functions needs 2 frames and puts news frames between them, so having just the last frame selected generates an error as there is no next frame to morph into. It is true, that the error message is generic and not helpful. It would also be possible to use the first frame for looping animation... Maybe I'll remember to update it once I get to it.
