Hello,

Processing 4 reaches "auto naming limit", suggests going for a walk

A student of mine struggeled with Processing 4 today, and ran into the following… behaviour. I was able to reproduce it: ## Steps to Reproduce * start Processing, close it, re-start it again; repeat several times or, * start Processing, and create a number[^1] of new sketches [^1]: this number might be 26, as the last sketch I was able to create ended with `z`. Then, at some point, the following dialog pops up: ![Time for a Break: You've reached the limit for auto naming of new sketches for the day. How about going for a walk instead?](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/922274/197599511-9bee2c5e-3408-4a49-ac07-38b4b3c6ba9a.png) When trying to start Processing again, one gets this: ![Sunshine: No really, time for some fresh air for you.](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/922274/197598435-753d5f76-9ed0-42ae-a6a0-0f49d9f6be61.png) That's it. One can **no longer start** Processing for an unknown period of time. What is that, some kind of an Easter egg?! I find this rather inappropriate. Today, it only led to even more frustration for my students who are just starting to learn Python and Processing. ## Expected Behavior Please don't tell me Processing cannot "auto name" more than 26 sketches per day. Keep the funny messages, if you like, but allow Processing to start again. Thanks. ## Environment * Processing version: 4.0.1 * Operating System and OS version: Windows 10

:)

Hey there! This bug has been resolved as you can see in the page @glv linked to. We recommend updating to the latest version of Processing to fix this issue.
