[Komag]

so is pre4 the last good version?

I'll upload a new pre-release build soon, using the old GTK library.

Here is the new pre-release build, including a bugfix for the ModelSelector window size issue reported by jdude:

So, just to recap in case I have to go back...

 

0.9.7pre4 USEABLE FOR ME. I think. return here if I have to.

0.9.7pref5 BAD FOR ME. This is the one the main window wouldn't refresh for me.

0.9.7pre6 BAD

0.9.7pre6 BAD

0.9.7pre7 TO TEST

 

OK, I'll try the new one.....

Well, it seems to be behaving so far. I get a stream of child window images when I drag but it instantly redraws when I stop so that's probably like it always was but maybe getting worse as the code gets longer. Must get my new computer this year but can't face re-installing and configing all my programs and Windows.

 

BTW, Don't know if this has been discovered before but I think it has been mentioned. If anyone gets that problem where you lose the cursor and control when mousing quickly in camera view. I think it was said it is if the mouse moves rapidly out of range it half thinks it is in orthoview or something. If cam on left and ortho is over to the right you can usually recover by repeat lift and drag the mouse to the left until it thinks it is back over the camera. Anyway, for the last week or so I have been trying with a slight gap between my cam and ortho view (floating windows) and this seems to have cured it. The mouse might still choke for a few seconds if the PC is overloaded and/or a big map is loaded but recovers but that is something different - just probably the machine can't keep up.
